UPDATE! Sorry, folks, I have just learned that this story is from a satire website. Still funny though.

Customs officers at the Hamad International Airport, in the Qatari capital, have arrested a Yemeni man attempting to smuggle more than 12 kilograms (27 lbs) of sliced bacon hidden in his anal cavity. The 53-year old Abd al Rahman Shamoun was spotted by a specially trained police dog, looking for drugs or pork meat on passengers and in their luggage.

World News Daily Report (h/t Rob E) He appeared visibly nervous and sweaty, so the customs took him in a separate office for a more thorough search and investigation. The search revealed 4 larges condoms hidden in his anal cavity, each containing more than 3 kilograms of bacon.

People ingesting or inserting illegal drugs, money, jewelry, or weapons in various cavities, is a rather common practice and airports around the world are used to dealing with such cases.

This is the first time, however, that bacon is discovered during a cavity search.

Due to Qatar’s strict laws regarding pork meat and other food that isn’t “permissible” or “allowed” in Islam, Mr. Shamoun faces some very serious criminal charges.
