FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WFLA) — Typically when you think of stuffing a bird, you’re thinking of bread filling, onions, and seasoning, but one particular chicken got some attention after authorities at a Florida airport found something “fowl” inside it.

Monday, the Transportation Security Administration posted on social media that its agents at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport found a gun smuggled inside a raw chicken.

Photos of the desecrated bird carcass showed a gun that was wrapped in a plastic bag and shoved inside it.

“We hate to beak it to you here, but stuffing a firearm in your holiday bird for travel is just a baste of time,” the TSA said. “This idea wasn’t even half-baked; it was raw, greasy, and obviously unsupervised.”

Both fresh and cooked meats are permitted to be in carry-on bags and checked luggage, according to TSA. The meats can be packed with ice or ice packs, but the ice or packs need to be solid – if they’re melted, they will not be allowed through.

Not sure if #FloridaMan was responsible, but still an interesting story.

Usually, chickens carry switchblades.

I heard Sam Colt got the idea for the revolver from a rotisserie chicken display at WalMart.

Shouldn't be a worry if the chicken has been kept chilled below 40 degrees F, and stored on the bottom shelf.

What law says a chicken can’t carry concealed?

The 2A applies to chickens also…

Not only concealed but fighting cocks might carry knife blades. Them suckers is nasty. Got one hanging on the wall here-—came from a loser.

Turkeys are carrying sawed-off shotguns!

If the bird was a male, maybe they were trying to shoot their cock off.

“I shouldn’t have used a raw chicken hoster? Was that wrong?”

There really should be some sort of background check before they let poultry buy and carry a gun.
