Great moments in homeland security

If you have "Idiots" as a first-round winner in the NCAA tournament, you're in the money.

Today the Cox Arena at San Diego State University was evacuated after a bomb-sniffing dog sniffed a hot dog cart and became very excited.

In the bomb-sniffing dog trade, this is known as a "hit" on a "suspicious package."

Highly trained security experts brought in a robot to disassemble the hot dog cart and search for dangerous substances.

You can slip on a mustard spill and break your neck, you know. It's possible.

Thankfully, the robot was unhurt.

After two hours of delay, the security experts determined that nothing in the arena posed a threat to public safety. I don't know, I'd still stay away from the nacho cheese sauce.
