Tourism and Terrorism
There is currently a huge security contingent on the Staten Island Ferry and at the terminals: uniformed unarmed minimum-wage watchmen; U.S. Coast Guard; N.Y.P.D.; and a pack of well-behaved bomb dogs. Tourists flock to the ferry. How can security tell a tourist from a terrorist? Tourists pet the bomb dogs. (Terrorists scurry past.)

I like the phrase bomb dogs. I can't get over it. Bomb dogs. As if their identity is utterly dependent on sniffing out bombs.
I tried to think of similar adjective-noun combos.
Pack animals.
Dairy cows.
Fish food.
Laboratory monkeys.
Guide dogs.
Race horses.
I love how each one is totally defined by their function in regard to humanity and there is no freedom or free will outside of that definition.
