Alerting the bomb sniffing dogs in the airport

This incident with the terrorist hoax in Florida got me thinking about something funny that happened in the Hartford airport yesterday. There was a woman sitting across from me, waiting for a plane, and security was very tight. The police were making passes with their bomb sniffing dogs. When one passed her, the dog stopped by her briefcase and wouldn't budge. The officer pulled the dog a bit, and the dog rubbed up against the briefcase like it was really attracted to it, almost in love with it.
The officer began asking the woman a few questions, and she told the officer something about her husband playing golf, nothing really making sense. She soon opened the briefcase to let the officer see what was inside. The officer spotted a box of peanut and chocolate chip flavored granola bars and laughed. He had her close up the briefcase, apologized, and pulled the dog away.
There were three dogs scanning that day, and every one of them scoped in on her briefcase. Of course, the first officer had told the other officers what was going on, so she didn't have to continue to be bothered, but those dogs sure went after those peanut butter and chocolate chip rice bars.
My guess is they use peanut butter, or perhaps these type of bars to reward the dogs during their training. So, if your wanting to see if the dogs at the airport are doing their jobs, slip a peanut butter and chocolate chip bar in your carry on luggage.
To err is human, to moo is bovine.

It's not what you know that gets you in trouble, it's what you know that just ain't so!
Why does man kill? He kills for food. But not only for food; frequently, he must have a beverage.
