Airport officials say monkey was ‘loose’ on Las Vegas-bound Frontier flight
Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | August 10, 2016 | RACHEL CROSBY

A monkey was briefly “loose” on a Las Vegas-bound Frontier flight from Ohio at one point late Tuesday, according to McCarran International Airport officials.

Melissa Nunnery, a spokeswoman with the airport, couldn’t clarify what “loose” meant, but said a Frontier staffer reported to McCarran “that the monkey was loose, or got loose” briefly during the flight.

It’s unclear what type of monkey it was, but Nunnery said the monkey was an emotional support animal, adding that “the passenger had all the proper paperwork to have the monkey on the plane with him.”

It was probably better behaved than most of the human passengers.

People got all hyped up when the bedbug episode started up in the Pentagon....so the idea of dogs and fleas aren’t that far apart. This naturally got people to talking....how would handle a flea infestation....with chemicals? What kind of chemicals?

I have to admit....the military is clearly a fascinating thing to watch because they can hit forty problems in ten minutes and really get into the heart of an issue.

TSA mistook it for our usurper in chief.

“Yes, I’m a loon with a ring through my nose, and I’ve just fooled the airline, the TSA, the cockpit & cabin crews, and some of the passengers that I must have my ‘emotional support turkey’ with me at all times.”

“Hey Looney Tunes, your ‘emotional support turkey’ would taste really good on a plate next to some mashed potatoes, dressing, and cranberry sauce.”

I've totally had it with this crap of "emotional support" animals being demanded by the "handicapped,"

I think I'll demand to have my poisonous pit viper or cobra with me on my very next flight!

Just see how far I get toting these "helpful" supportive friends through check-in, through security and on to my seat!

They are bringing them into the grocery store too. Just random dogs not guide dogs. I asked the grocer about it he said they can’t do anything about it. Don’t want to get sued.

"The turkey travels everywhere with its owner after she lost her husband."

So what does that say about the husband?
