A&A was specifically created to serve the air cargo transportation industry by providing on-site detection of explosives, drugs and other prohibited items by using odor detection canine teams. Dogs have been shown to provide superior results at much lower cost when compared to chemical swabbing or X-ray detection methods. Their superior olfactory senses can detect odors eminating from inside parcels, packages, envelopes and even wrapped pallets. They do so in a fraction of the time it takes with swabbing or X-ray screening techniques.
