Cannabis Blunder At Tokyo Airport

When I first glanced at the title of this story on The BBC, I thought maybe someone received a package of pot at the airport and got busted, but it's a lot juicier than that. Here's a snippet:
An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say.

A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.

Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.
You have got to be kidding me! They left almost five ounces of pot in someone's suitcase, FORGOT which one they put it in and asked anyone who found this giant bag of pot to turn it in? Would it be cliche to suggest these customs guys are puffing doobies before work?
