SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 5 (Reuters) - A man who refused to have his luggage
inspected at an airport on grounds it contained a sex toy was arrested when
authorities found $50,000 worth of marijuana inside his bags, police said
on Monday.

Sgt. Joe Reilly of the San Francisco Police Department's airport bureau
said Kenneth Castor, 39, was arrested on Saturday morning after trying to
carry two duffel bags with him on board a flight to Honolulu.

Guards at the airport's security checkpoint spotted something unusual in
the X-ray scan of his bags and asked to search them, but Castor refused.
The guards called police after Castor grabbed his bags and marched back
through the metal detector toward the ticketing area.

Reilly said police found Castor trying to check his bags at the airline
ticket counter, where he declined to have them X-rayed because he said they
included a ``dildo.'' A search of the bags turned up 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of
marijuana, which has a street value of about $10,000, Reilly said.

Castor, a Hawaii resident, was booked into San Mateo County Jail on charges
of possession, sale and transportation of marijuana.

Police were unable to find a sex toy in Castor's bags.
