They may need to train a specialist class of dildogs.

There was an old [1972 episode of Adam-12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0505401/) where Rose Marie played a character riding a bus that thought she had a rattlesnake in her luggage. Turned out to be her electric toothbrush vibrating.

I am sure now that the “story you have just seen is true” real event wasn’t a toothbrush!

Beck, Hon, you can’t just find a heated, vibrating armadillo replica just anywhere. And how would you even ask for it in German?

I’m not sure you _should_ ask for that, anywhere in any language.

> Why do people carry these devices in luggage?

They didn’t. Someone used regular parcel delivery systems to send the packages to seemingly random addresses, presumably to see whether the danger was spotted and what effect they might have, with a view to future operations. The dildos are an irrelevant distraction.

The Poles have arrested a number of people, so their intelligence must be reasonably substantial

Why not?

> We can’t let the bag on until it quits buzzing. And if it turns out the gizmo is powered by a lithium battery (which all the modern ones with internal batteries are), then once we know about it, we can’t let it into the cargo hold. _Anything_ with a built-in lithium battery has to go in carry-on baggage, purse, laptop bag, etc., or the trash. (Yes, we know people sneak stuff on all the time without telling the airline as they should. But once we know it’s in there, it’s too late for that.)

Don’t know what airline you work for, but Delta allows devices with lithium batteries in them to be carried in checked bags.

I did not have weaponized dildonics on my 2024 bingo card, but it’s hard to be surprised by anything anymore.

No, you should never use it as a dildo. The resemblance is only apparent.

It should have been a Telefunken U47.

At the risk of being pedantic, I’m pretty sure those are armadildos you’re talking about [ninja’d on that one. Damn].
