A study from the University of California, Davis, found that drug and bomb-sniffing dogs have an 85% failure rate when their handlers are misled into thinking contraband is present. The researchers concluded that the dogs are often influenced by their handlers' cues rather than actual scents, calling into question the legal reliability of canine alerts.

This is paired with a news report from Aurora, Colorado, regarding the sale of $300 bulletproof backpacks for children.
