Novelty dog puts wind up air staff


A NOVELTY dog toy which breaks wind as it bends over sparked a major security alert at a United States airport, its stunned owner said today.

Page designer Dave Rogerson said he could not believe what was happening to him when the life-size mechanical terrier set off an explosives detector at Norfolk airport in Virginia.

Armed security staff sprang into action after something in the dog's "wind breaking" mechanism apparently registered as high explosive TNT.

Mr Rogerson, 31, from Leeds, was grilled by FBI agents and looked on in amazement as they took a series of swabs from the replica animal's rear end.

They eventually returned the dog but stopped Mr Rogerson taking his planned flight to, North Carolina, and rerouted him via Philadelphia.

Mr Rogerson said: "They told me its was the highest reading they had for explosives and they took it very seriously."
