Dogs can be trained to the scent of many items, some are trained to specifically smell for cash. The TSA black labs are designed to sniff out explosives and not drugs. Some dogs are even being trained to sniff out electronics.

It may be true, but the Daily Mail is definitely not a reputable news source.
