Detailing the odd incident in a recent press release, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) explained that the bust occurred in early January at Boston's Logan Airport when an unnamed passenger arrived from a trip to the Congo. As the traveler went through the customary airport checkpoint with his luggage, a CBP canine named Buddey detected something unusual and drew the attention of its handler to one particular bag.
