TSA canine handlers are non-law enforcement employees and complement the more than 600 TSA-certified state, local and federal law enforcement teams currently deployed nationwide to more than 90 airports and mass transit systems.

Additional TSA teams will be deployed to airports with the greatest volume of cargo on passenger-carrying aircraft.
