Welcome to Japan!

An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say.

A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.

Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.

From the BBC.

"... the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in. ... The customs officer conducted the test on a passenger's bag against regulations."

He will now be transferred to the TSA in the US, where he is expected to have a long and successful career.
