We use bomb-sniffing dogs where we can. However, in many situations, as in the case of roadside IED's, it is not practical because of the amount of area that must be covered. Another constraint is the amount of bomb-sniffing dogs that the US has. A good deal of training goes into these dogs, and not every dog that is trained is fit to be a bomb-sniffing dog.
The dog must be extremely obedient, and under no circumstances can the dog paw at anything. The dog must be able to ignore distractions and people. Additionally, the dog must be in good health and "deployable." There are many dogs that fit these qualifications, but can not go to Iraq because of health problems. So much time and money goes into training a bomb dog that there just can't be enough of them for the mission that there is.

Genuis by Design is far from it, just look at the spelling of his name, he is not 1337.
But your answer your question. They do where they can, but if your question is aimed toward the IED threat, it is not an efficent means of doing business. The convoys travel throughout Iraq cover so much area that it would take to long to "Sweep" everything with dogs, by the time one section was cleared the insurgents would of had plenty of time to plant one somewhere else. I hope that answers your question.

They do use them mainly at checkpoints but most of the IEDs are detonanted by cell phones so you literally would have someone and their bomb dog getting hurt as they walked up on it. There are not huge numbers of these trained animals and the heat is fairly hard on them.

All incorrect solutions. The area in the midsection east makes it merely approximately impossible for dogs to stumble on explosive properties. hence the fee of coaching, transporting, and utilising them isn't fee effectual. There are dogs bieng sent there yet no longer as many as you will possibly think of.

We do. Unfortunately you cannot mount them on the front of a Land Rover or Humvee to sniff out IED's at 40 mph

Stupidity ? That is usually a good answer.
Indifference ? Because the GOVT does not care.
Corruption ? Chaos maintains the war profits.
