Well, considering that a dog can only detect what can be smelled, it
would be safe to assume that coating the locker/hallway/room/school
ventilation system with something that irritates the doggies nose would
be enough to throw the dog off the trail, or to create enough doubt in
the mind of a judge about the accuracy of the dog that day...

Stuff like Butyl Mercaptin (skunk smell) sprayed around the school would
probably drive everyone nuts (it really, really, really reaks like skunk
smell) -- except for people used to the smell for one reason or another
(live in the country, etc...). Ammonia is always great for deodorizing
those mildew-ridden lockers (gosh, keep those stinky gym shoes in there
and you just have to do the societially-correct thing and keep it odor
free...).

How about that raw, super concentrated, anti-odor stuff sold at
drug/grocery stores? One pump, and you're set for a month (I know, some
fool broke a bottle at a store I worked at long ago, and it reeked for
months...)...

What if YOU personally don't do drugs, but someone decided to put drugs
into your locker via the outside slots to get you busted? Might not be
too bad of an idea to ask this question, or just cover up the slots with
cardboard on the inside held on with duct tape.... Gee, can you imagine,
the night before the doggie is due to show up, some degenerate gets in
and puts a bit of weed in ALL the lockers?

Or how about the next time you get called to the Principal's office, if
a joint was to be found underneath his desk, or underneath his pencil
holder, etc? would they bust the principal for smoking pot? or would
they assume it was planted? If they assumed it was a "plant" (no pun
intended), could a student who's locker was discovered to have pot in it
be assumed to have been framed?

Geez... just from having to deal with lockers and such when I was in
High School (again, no pun intended...), I discovered that the most
insecure spot to store things of value was your locker! The whole
principle of locking the door is that there's a rod that slides up and
down, and has cross bars which fit onto those neato steel hooks at the
top and bottom.... The only thing preventing the bar from sliding is the
lock shackle which fits thru a hole in the handle that connects inside
to the sliding lock bar... but what is so special that the lock shackle
makes the handle unable to slide up and down when in the hole? Just a
cheap, 1/16" thick piece of steel that has a hole in it that's centered
underneath the handle's hole.... Thus if that piece of steel is bent
upward, the locker is subject to being opened easily by just jerking
upward on the lock/handle simultaneously... Gee, that didn't work? How
about one or two swift kicks underneath the lock itself -- either the
lock will shatter if it's a cheapie, or the little piece of steel will
bend a bit... yank, yank -- pop, it's open!

I discovered this after some fool glued my locker shut in high school
and I needed to get in w/o going down to the office, waiting around,e
tc...

Moral: Never trust what's found in your locker...it's too insecure a
spot.... (gee, do ya think that you could get in from either of the
sides of the locker if those screws were taken out?...)...

Perhaps the best trick of all to drive the dog nuts would be to find a
female dog in heat, and let it loose around the school the night
before...or even in the neighborhood... if the drug doggie hasn't been
fixed, well we all know what's going to happen here....
