Criminals often tend towards the lower end of the intelligence scale, and a little blurb in today’s Post seems to verify that point. Buried within an article on the use of bomb-sniffing dogs in the Metro system is this gem:

One man walked by and asked Shieder [a police officer] whether his dog would bite. “No, he sniffs,” Shieder said.

“Can he sniff drugs?” the man asked, smiling nervously.

“No, just explosives,” Shieder replied.

“Whew, that’s good,” said the man, who declined to give his name and walked away quickly, clutching his pocket.

Criminal mastermind this man is not.
