Tokyo customs agents managed to lose around four ounces of marijuana during a training session with drug-sniffing dogs. It seems that the dog didn’t sniff so well and the customs agent forgot into what bag’s side pocket he slipped the testing packet.

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.
Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials.
