Subject Do you think it's a good thing to have drug-sniffing dogs in our public high schools?

Original Message Here is a link and the beginning of an article that I just read on my local newspapers's website. I live in Rochester, MN and newspaper is called the Post-Bulliten. Although I'm not too surprised to be reading this, I am a bit disappointed.

Rochester Public Schools has a new weapon in its arsenal to keep illegal drugs out of schools. His name is Chase, a Belgian Malinois whose nose is so keen that it can detect the scent of a narcotic an hour after it has been removed from a can.

The Rochester school district for the first time plans to use Chase and other drug-sniffing canines to prevent and keep illegal drugs out of its three high schools.

"I guess my message to students is: We don't want drugs in our schools," Rochester Police Sgt. Mike Drees, who oversee the department's K-9 unit, told the Rochester School Board at Tuesday's meeting. "If we have to have drugs somewhere, go back to the dark alleys and dark corners and hide where police officers are trained to locate you."

In my opinion, this is just another sign of TPTB trying to normalize this sort of thing.

What do you think?
