Actually, with the eggplant, was he gathering ingredients for a killer babaghanoush recipe?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Elderly Egyptian man arrested, deported for kicking bag-sniffing dog at Dulles
&lt;blockquote&gt;Hamed Marie, 70, arrived at the Virginia airport Tuesday on an Egypt Air flight. A CBP officer and a beagle, Freddy, were patrolling baggage claim at the airport when the dog alerted to Marie’s baggage, according to court documents.

CBP said in a release that while the officer questioned Marie, he kicked Freddy so hard that the dog left the ground. The dog was taken to a veterinary emergency room according to court documents; CBP said Freddy suffered contusions in the area around his right forward ribs.

Marie was handcuffed and taken into custody.

A search of Marie’s luggage uncovered 55 pounds of beef, 44 pounds of rice, 15 pounds of eggplant, cucumbers and bell peppers, 2 pounds of corn seeds and a pound of herbs, all of which were illegal to bring into the U.S., CBP said. The food was seized once found.

Marie pleaded guilty to harming an animal used in law enforcement in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and was deported back to Egypt on Thursday, CBP said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
