A botched sniffer-dog training exercise at Tokyos Narita airport has left customs officials with faces glowing red from embarrassment.
It began with hiding a package of cannabis in a suitcase belonging to a passenger arriving from Hong Kong on Sunday.
The dogs being trained were then let loose and they sniffed and sniffed to no avail.
The result the dogs and officials lost track not only of the cannabis, but also the luggage, giving the weekend visitor an unusual souvenir from customs.
Tokyo media said that although customs regulations specify that a training suitcase be used for such exercises, passengers suitcases had been used in the past with successful results.
Anyone who finds the package should contact Tokyo customs as soon as possible, a customs spokeswoman said. (ha ha!)
