Pirated DVD Sniffing Dogs?

Straight from the “you’ve got to be kidding me” department comes this story about the MPAA and Lucky & Flo…the world’s first DVD sniffing dogs. Currently they only have limited success sniffing out DVDs but, with training, they hope to be able to make them able to sniff out large quantities of DVDs which “would more likely include illegally copied movies”. I guess that means I must have some pirated movies.

The dogs have had some success so far, according to the MPAA. But there is still more training that needs to be done. At this point, the dogs alert police to any CD or DVD they smell in packages and bags. Customs officials in the U.K. hope one day the dogs will only signal when there are large collections of discs, which would more likely include illegally copied movies.
