Japanese customs officials give hash to random passenger

Here\'s the type of box the hash was inWhile training drug-sniffing dogs at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport, two Japanese customs officials routinely put drugs in regular passengers’ luggage instead of the specially marked training bags they were supposed to have been using. Until May 25th, the dogs in training had always found the drugs. As the bag was unmarked and on a moving conveyor belt, the 124 grams of hash planted by the officer were lost almost immediately when not detected by the dog.

I know it’s not as timely as it might have been, but it’s no less funny. The “recipient” of the drugs was eventually found at a Tokyo area hotel, without even realizing their bag had been tampered with. Incidentally, the image you see was taken from the news as reported by Asahi, one of Japan’s largest brewers and beverage makers. 🙂

    I can’t imagine the look on the “johnny law” nihonji’s face when they opened their suitcase. Wow.

    Neither had I. I’ve gotten those TSA inspection cards that let you know they went through your bag, but I’ve never had one come off the line spilling its contents. That must’ve sucked.

    Shannon:
    Yeah, I can’t imagine what he’d have done had he(?) actually found the drugs.

    Carolyn:
    No Shi’ite. On the other hand, if you were a drug dealer, maybe you’d count it as a blessing. 😉
