How not to train dogs

Anyone who thinks the police planted a bomb in his or her luggage would have to be a raving paranoid lunatic, right?

Not necessarily:

Airport police deliberately placed a bag containing up to five ounces of plastic explosives in luggage early Friday evening, Bouquin said. The luggage was lost on a conveyor belt carrying bags through a restricted area from check-in to planes.

The explosives could have made it onto one of up to 90 flights leaving Charles de Gaulle airport. Police didn’t know the bag’s destination and quickly alerted the relevant airlines.

Try explaining that one to Homeland Security.
