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?

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.

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

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