Bomb Dog Drops Bomb

Security personnel at the airport in Cairo, Egypt thought they were doing the right thing by having a bomb sniffing dog check out the cabin of an airplane scheduled to make a flight from Cairo to New York. They were going through the cabin when the dog decided to drop a bomb of his own. On the carpet.

The flight had to be delayed for more than an hour when the unnamed animal did his business in a cabin filled with 179 passengers on Flight 985, a security source at Cairo international airport said Friday.

While checking the cabin for explosives and other dangerous materials and giving the all clear, the dog did what dogs do and produced something to be sniffed at.

The captain then ordered that the cabin be cleaned and disinfected, resulting in a delay of 65 minutes, the airport source said.

Apparently, this cost the airline some $10,000 in fees and penalties. I wonder if the dog has a new nickname now.
