Incredibly, a man from Leeds was given a grilling by the FBI at an American airport after his toy dog alerted security staff to a possible bomb threat.
The Scotsman reports that something in the toy dog's workings, which makes it mimic breaking wind, registered as TNT.
This reminded me of an incredible moment I witnessed at Glasgow Airport. As passengers progressed through the metal detector, a member of the airport's security staff asked the woman in front of me if she was carrying any metal objects.
