Indiana police have dogs that sniff specifically for cash at the US’s 2nd biggest FedEx hub, then they simply keep the money (eu.indystar.com)

(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

It’s not just the police action that’s disturbing. It’s the lack of transparency. FedEx cares about their own profits, so they have a disincentive to inform customers about what dogs in their hub are sniffing for. We only have this info because of journalists. That’s fucked up. Normal non-criminals should be informed about the risks of their lawful transaction. FedEx should have informed the jewelers of the risks.
