A funny thing happened at the Krakow airport...

After deplaning from my flight into Krakow this morning I made friends with this really happy dog named Oskar at the airport baggage carousel. Unfortunately, his human buddy Yuri (I didn't actually get his name, but he seems like a Yuri) wasn't quite so friendly. Next thing I know I'm in a little room off the customs desk, all my luggage is open and Yuri is carefully inspecting everything I'd meticulously packed that morning. Luckily, that's as far as it went and I'm not enough of an idiot to do something that could actually get me in trouble, but when you're in a room with a security officer, and he's putting on rubber gloves and telling you he has to inspect "your luggage and your pants," let me tell you, it's a tense moment.

ROTFL, maybe your posting reads funny because of your writing style or because I've traveled with you thru customs. Was this a sniffing dog?

It was a drug dog, but it wasn't really sniffing around, just having fun playing with a ball and running around the terminal. Although I guess it did something to single me out, but I wasn't the only one. From my flight I saw at least a few other people get pulled aside, too. But then again, it was a flight from Amsterdam, so it would be surprising if we didn't smell like narcotics.
