Bomb alert over 'break-wind' dog

Page designer Dave Rogerson's life-size mechanical terrier set off a security detector at Norfolk Airport in Virginia.

Armed security staff were alerted when the toy's wind-breaking mechanism registered as a high explosive on sensitive monitoring equipment.

Mr Rogerson, 31, from Thorner, Leeds, was questioned by FBI agents and looked on in amazement as they took a series of swabs from the mechanical toy's rear end.

Eventually the FBI experts decided the toy was harmless and returned it to him.

He has now named the toy dog Norfolk after the airport.
