The Beagles, The Bed Bugs, and Airport Security
Airport travel can be a bit of a hassle. You have to coordinate getting to and from the airport, where you are staying not to mention getting on the flight itself. So wouldn’t it be nice to have a quality service to help when you lose your wallet or your phone drops without you ever realizing it until it is too late? I’m not talking about airport security putting a GPS on your valuables. I’m talking about KLM’s PR stunt to have a beagle bring travelers’ lost belongings to them wherever you are in the airport. Sadly it was a hoax but the ability of dogs–specifically beagles–to detect and confirm a scent is absolutely scientifically proven. We wouldn’t be able to get our dogs to ride the baggage carousel, but they can check your luggage at the end of a trip to make sure you don’t have any unwelcome hitchhikers inside.
