BEWARE OF DOG

Recently my friend Kym was walking through the airport returning from a work related trip to Arizona. What I'm about to tell you can only be issued as a warning to anyone planning on flying in the near future.
Kym had all her toiletries neatly tucked inside a ziplock bag as we've been instructed, however her toothpaste exceeded the 3 oz limit. I'm sure she was stylishly walking through the airport pulling her chic red rollerbag when she heard a security guard giving his dog verbal (English) commands such as, "stop the woman with the red bag". Kym innocently assumed the offender was someone other then herself until the dog and human companion pushed through the crowd and stood panting before her.
At that moment several things occured to her:
1. She realized dogs understand english, can distinguish gender and color {woman, red bag}
2. Her regular sized toothpaste was truly offensive and breaking the 3 oz law
3. Police dogs don't scare her {"I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants"}

If you find yourself packing a suitcase and ziplock bag full of your liquid/gel essentials, remember to pack travel sizes only. Apparently they take this limitation very seriously and you too may have a security dog hot on your heals if you aren't careful.
