Airport Dog Finds Illegal Food Stowed in Luggage (Mar 26, 2012)
Izzy, an agricultural detector beagle, works to find foods and plants brought in by visitors that are considered invasive species or banned projects, some containing insects or larvae know to be harmful to U.S. agriculture. "Something as simple as an apple could carry the larva of a Mediterranean fruit fly," said Officer James Armstrong, who supervises the agricultural searches, "which, if it got loose in our citrus crops in the U.S., could cost billions of dollars."
