Question map
Which one of the following statements with regard to Dog Squad for airport security is correct ?
Explanation
Option B is correct because dogs possess a highly specialized olfactory system. When actively searching for scents, dogs increase their sniffing frequency to approximately 5 to 10 times per second, which translates to 300 to 600 times per minute. This rapid sniffing allows them to continuously sample the air and create a high-resolution scent profile.
- Option A is incorrect because dogs are highly effective at detecting plastic explosives (like C4 and RDX) due to specific chemical markers added during manufacture.
- Option C is incorrect as there is no technical standard suggesting female dogs are easier to maintain; in fact, their reproductive cycles can sometimes complicate squad management.
- Option D is incorrect because explosive detection dogs are strictly trained for passive alerts (sitting or lying down). They must never seize or touch the object, as physical contact could trigger a detonation.
