'Super clone' sniffer dogs: Coming to an airport near you?

A small army of elite, highly trained clones are sent on a mission to root out drugs and ammunition from the city. Every few hours they report back to their masters, to whom they've been devoted since birth.

Even if, in reality, the dogs were total duds, it's great deterrence to make smugglers think you actually have "super clone sniffer dogs".
Tutu is surprisingly badly behaved for a trained dog. I wonder if allowing him to run amok is important for sniffing effectively.
Detection dogs are not trained for obedience, the goal is to have them focus on exploring & finding and not setting quietly. The idea is to have them only give the desired response(in that case sit and point), when they detect a substance they have been trained to detect.
I think we all know the real reason South Korea is cloning dogs.
I think you think wrong. Please enlighten us.
