Customs dog attacks child at airport

Today's daily dose of airline industry fear mongering comes from the arrivals hall of Washington DC's Dulles (IAD) airport.

Late this past week, a mother and daughter arriving at the airport to pick up an arriving passenger had an unfortunate run in with one of the training K-9 customs dogs. The Belgian Malinois, a normally friendly dog, apparently advanced on the scared child and bit her in the midsection, requiring a trip to the emergency room and 20 stitches.
