K-9 Alerts His Handler to a Roasted Pig Head Inside a Traveler's Luggage at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport


U.S. Customs and Border Patrol made a bust in Atlanta that's complete hogwash.

Last Thursday, K-9 Hardy certainly squealed with delight when he alerted his handler to the roasted pig head inside a traveler's luggage.

The passenger from Ecuador attempted to carry the two-pound piece of pork through customs at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

“Our best defense against destructive pests and animal diseases is to prevent the entry of prohibited agriculture products from entering the United States,” said Carey Davis, CBP Area Port Director for the Port of Atlanta. “This seizure at ATL illustrate the tremendous expertise of our four-legged K-9 partners in protecting the United States."

Pork products from other continents are not allowed to enter the U.S. in an effort to prevent the potential introduction of foreign animal diseases such as Foot and Mouth disease, Classical Swine Fever and Swine Vesicular disease.

This is one interception Hardy can take to the piggy bank.
