Free Dope at Tokyo airport
by Craig on May 27th, 2008
Japanese customs have very agreeably handed out 142g of cannabis to an unwitting passenger at Tokyo’s Narita airport during a drugs-busting test operation.
According to the BBC, an operative planted the pot in the side pocket of a randomly-selected suitcase belonging to an innocent incoming passenger. The airport’s sniffer dogs were then expected to hunt down the sneakily-placed gear, but they failed miserably and the officer “could not remember which bag he had put it in”.
The chap in question apparently broke regs by using a real piece of luggage for the test as opposed to the standard dummy bag. He admitted: “I knew that using passengers’ bags is prohibited, but I did it because I wanted to improve the sniffer dog’s ability. The dogs have always been able to find it before… I became overconfident that it would work.”
The airport’s customs chief, Manpei Tanaka, offered: “This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise.”
The powers that be have, naturally, asked the recipient of the narcotics to contact customs officials.
I am actually booking a Flight to Tokyo as we speak!
