A Woman Wrapped In Sausages, A Bag Full Of Elephant Manure, A Skinned Monkey
<snip>

TORONTO (CP) - What do a woman wrapped in sausages, a bag full of elephant manure, and a skinned monkey all have in common?

They're just a few of the strange and stomach turning things officials with the Canada Border Services Agency have come across and confiscated during routine luggage checks at Toronto's Pearson International Airport in recent years.

They're trained for the seizure of dangerous weapons, narcotics and counterfeit money. Still, even the most seasoned officials admit it's hard to prepare yourself for the discovery of freshly butchered meat, cultural delicacies, and exotic libido enhancers among piles of clothes and souvenirs.

"I was doing a secondary inspection once and I noticed this thing, and so I pulled it out and these five fingers come out, this arm comes up, and then you see the jaw bone and teeth, and nose and eyes," said Ed Filman, who works with detector dogs to find foreign food, plant and animals at Pearson.

"What it turned out to be was a skinned monkey, and from my understanding, they were going to eat it," said Filman, who's been working in the field for six years.
