i think its pretty fair to say that smells are stronger when theres a large quantity of something of that smell, rather than a small amount. this sort of logic would apply to almost anything.
logic states that the dogs would be more likely to smell quantity, and an indication of this is when the dog walks along a line of people attending an event, lets say 50% carrying some form of methamphetamine, and the dogs only pick out a couple of people.
another point worth noting, the police are there for a scare tactic. they want to minimize people using drugs so they get out there, bust a couple people, and generally make their presence known. theyre intention is not to bust as many people as possible (unless its a raid) because i dont think theyd have the resources or facilities to do so. we're talking numbers in thousands should they be trying to bust every person attending a large commercial sydney rave.
and saying 'dont freak out' is much easier said than done. for some people, like myself for instance, who shake during a job interview, how the fuck am i supposed to remain calm when im face to face with a dirty fuken mutt who may well playfully fuck me up
FJ - hmmm chilli powder, i have enough trouble just with the taste of the pill
Loony - thats just insane!!!
PD - you dont think that the dog would give some indication that theyre sense of smell has been agitated, and that the police could pick up on this? i mean i dont wanna irritate some dog so that it looks real suspicious... a clump of fresh ginger to a human nose can be irritating, a clump to a sense of smell so enhanced??
