From Justin:

A novelty dog toy which breaks wind as it bends over has sparked a major security alert at a US airport. Page designer Dave Rogerson said he could not believe what was happening to him when the life-size mechanical terrier set off an explosives detector at Norfolk airport in Virginia.

I don't know what's more amusing:

  • The fact that such a dog exists
  • The image of FBI agents putting cotton swabs in its ass
  • The first sentence of that story: "A novelty dog toy which breaks wind as it bends over has sparked a major security alert at a US airport."

Man, I need a way to run polls on my blog. That'd be cool.

Well you know, farts can be explosive, flammable, and some even toxic.

Makes me wonder how I made it through so many airport security checkpoints??? LOL!!! Heck, I'm a bigger threat! A "passing gas - passenger" or "passingas-inger" as I like to say!
