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.

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!!”
