A passenger was arrested after security officials discovered he had carried snakes, birds and a squirrel in hand luggage on a long-haul flight.

In a thankfully less-dramatic version of the 2006 thriller film Snakes On A Plane, fellow passengers were blissfully unaware of the man's box full of pets.

The carry-on luggage scanners would miss those animals???

Maybe the passenger just wanted to take a snack for a long flight. Geez, have some cultural sensitivity. In the book “Cabin Pressure”, written by a couple of sexy stews, there’s an anecdote of a couple of furriners who had brought along goat meat, and built a fire to cook it while the plane was in the air. Over the Atlantic.

“Everybody listen up! We have to put a barrier between us and the squirrels!”

“And another barrier between the squirrels and the snakes!”

“And another barrier between the squirrels and the parrrots!”

“And another barrier between the parrots and the snakes!”

Doesn't the current back-scatter x-ray machine already qualify as a snake scanner?

Apparently, “Indonesian Airport Security” is an oxymoron.

Obviously, they were so focused on finding bombs that they missed the wriggling snakes and the little sign that one of the parrots held up saying, “Please Krrraaaawk help us!!”

Unfortunately this thread does not qualify for a “THINGS IN PANTS” PING.

Would it clarify the comment if I added: “for males”?
