Money sniffing dogs? They train dogs to sniff for plants, food and drugs. Cash in baggage should be easy?



But cash is everywhere, and it's not illegal to have it in your luggage if declared or below a certain amount. Seems like you'd get a ton of false positives as it would be very difficult to train a dog to only alert if it smells a lot of cash. But I did read another article that said they sprayed their vacuum packed cash bags with coffee and air freshener - don't know if that works that well against cash sniffing dogs.


Maybe cash sniffing elephants. Elephants can count, or at least scale, obscured items by smell.
