Airport sniffer dogs find 'cheese and sausages' but no Class A drugs

Airport sniffer dogs find 'cheese and sausages' but no Class A drugs

The use of sniffer dogs at Manchester Airport has been criticised after dogs there failed to discover any Class A drugs in a seven-month period.

But one dog, trained to detect illegal animal products, often found "small amounts of cheese or sausages" carried by holidaymakers, a report said.

The review, by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, assessed border checks at the airport.

The Home Office said improvements "need to be made".

You'll be body searched because none of the drug dogs will be able to not alert on your ass.
