LAS VEGAS (KTNV) \u2014 Two Las Vegas K9 bomb-sniffing dogs are in the Bay Area assisting security for the Super Bowl on Sunday. <\/p>\n
A 7-year-old Black Labrador Retriever named Elton and a 5-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer named Dina are bomb-sniffing canines from Harry Reid International Airport, specifically trained to detect explosives and explosive components. <\/p>\n
Canines from airports throughout the country will be helping out with security operations at venues throughout the Bay Area and the San Francisco International Airport. <\/p>\n
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has classified Super Bowl LX as a Special Event Assessment Rating Level 1, which qualifies it for extensive federal support, according to a news release from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). <\/p>\n
TSA canines are regularly tested to ensure their smelling abilities are in tip-top shape. While the dogs are social, working canines should not be pet or fed by anyone except their handlers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS (KTNV) \u2014 Two Las Vegas K9 bomb-sniffing dogs are in the Bay Area assisting security for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[30335,42034,7,9,8,30340,1421,42035,42036,42037,42038,42039,42040],"class_list":["post-169772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-13-action-news","tag-abc-13","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-ktnv-tv-channel-13","tag-las-vegas","tag-las-vegas-nevada","tag-las-vegas-news","tag-las-vegas-tv-station","tag-news-in-las-vegas","tag-news-stories-in-las-vegas","tag-whats-happening-in-las-vegas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
