Talcum-trained sniffer dogs on par in the war on drugs

"'It's embarrassing,' Mr Evans told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.", referring to some sniffer dogs that had apparently been mistakenly trained to find talcum powder rather than cocaine.

What really ought to embarrass Mr Evans is his personal involvement in the drug war.

The talcum-trained dogs were just as effective as the war on drugs itself.

The fact that the WOD goes on and on despite any justification for its continuance - aside from the preservation of entrenched interests on both sides - is the real embarrassment.
