Cloned sniffer dogs in South Korean airports

Dogs are a staple in airports around the world, helping detect narcotics, explosives, and other banned substances. Incheon Airport in South Korea is no different in that respect, only some of their best drug-sniffing dogs are clones.

#1 I remember reading that on the news long time ago (if my memory serves me right). It was about some project of making cloned children for couples who could not produce their own children biologically. But the project ended up with excessive clones and shutdown due to legal issues.

As far as I know, it is very difficult to clone apes related species, which include chimps and humans. If I remember correctly, as of 2010, scientists were only able to clone one chimp, out of several hundreds of trials.

To the South Koreans, drug-sniffing dogs are just another way of marinating whilst still alive. They have also trained them to sniff Parsley, Thyme, Sage...

#3 That Rhesus Monkey (named Tetra) wasn't exactly cloned the way most people consider 'cloning'. They just split an embryo creating two identical twins, not like they took a existing monkey and made a clone out of that, they just managed to turn one pregnancy into plural pregnancies. Tetra wasn't cloned from an adult somatic cell like Dolly the sheep was..

"last year 179 cases or bags carrying illegal substances were detected here"

/

"With an average of 100,000 bags coming through the airport every day" .

Is that a good ratio ?

They found 179 naughty bags a year out of 36,500,000 .

Bin drinking but that's what it sounds like .

Is that good ?
