Packaging methods tested with actual trained dog
« on: August 02, 2012, 10:07 pm »
My good friend owns a breeding kennel for one the dogs most used by customs and police for tracking substances, money, people and whatever. Recently he got there a new "stud dog" that was retired from police :). It is specially trained for drug sniffings and served 5 years, busted out many not-so-bright people :P
So we bought a vacuum machine + some weed, amphetamine, cocaine and mdma. We tried single vacuum, double vacuum and triple vacuum. Each layer was rubbed with alcohol and different gloves were used to pack the stuff in and for other handling. Packaging was done in different premises with different clothing on.
If it did not get it at 1st time, we tried several different time spans for same packages to see if they start to leak the smell. All of these "experiments" were done twice to get constant data (Yes, I like Mythbusters!). I will post more results in few days, I still have the same packages we used.
I am not sure if I have mentioned my home country in some of my previous messages, propably yes but just in case, it is a place with notorious customs in Scandinavia :).
Weed:
- 1 layer, 15 mins both times
- 2 layers, 12 hours 1st, 3 days 2nd
- 3 layers: not after 48 hours, but got after 5 days. 2nd was not detected after 5 days.
Amfetamine:
- No reaction at all to any packages in vacuumsafter 5 days. No reaction to speed in plastic bag either. I think it may have something to do with the speed itself, the stuff that is mostly sold here is totally different than the "ducth paste" we used. Our stuff origins from Baltic countries and Russia, they use different precursos and methods.
Cocaine:
- After 5 days no reaction to any package. Obviously he still knows it´s coke and a no-no, he found three stashes in plastic bags with no problems.
MDMA:
Dog went wild on this, I think it was his favourite:
- 1 layer: both 15 min
- 2 layer: 1st 15min, 2nd 1 hour
- 3 layers: 1st not after 5 days, 2nd after 24 hours.
...
the weed was in package for 15 minutes, then it was hidden among other things. also cocaine had been 5 days in same package, then hidden. this was to test if the packages start to leak smell outside. dog did not smell the cocaine through vacuum package even it was there for 5 days. but when it was in ziplock bag he found it right away.
it came quite clear that vacuum packages do leak smell outside in time.
Did they also do a test with the dog being vac sealed?
