I live in Launceston Tasmania, there's a fruit bin on the way in to the airport from the tarmac. Nearly every time I've been to the airport here there is a Beagle getting about on the luggage carousel.
Now that I think about it, that dog might not be there entirely for fruit. There was a bit of a spate of people bringing ice (meth-amphetamine) in through checked baggage a couple years ago. Who does that?
Unfortunately the beagles are mostly gone from Hobart airport.
There's just the one now, I'm told, and s/he wasn't on duty last I flew down. Family that fly through there regularly all say they havnt seen it on duty much either.
This made my paranoid checking of whether my chosen brand of fruit-oil containing shower gel would be permitted kind of redundant.
For somewhere there's not supposed to be fruit fly, we sure saw a lot of fruit flies.
