U.S. Department of Agriculture officer Ilka Matthes (L) with 3-year-old Beagle Brigade member 'Comet' instructs Mike Leiter, (top) Cynthia Mason and Evan Leither-Mason (R) of Frederick, Maryland, to go to the agriculture desk upon arriving from London at Washington Dulles International Airport on March 14, 2001. Comet detected some biscuits in the luggage which were inspected by USDA officers. The U.S. government on Wednesday warned travelers visiting the European countryside that they may face disinfection procedures before entering the United States to keep virulent foot-and-mouth disease at bay.
