TSA agents find gun inside raw chicken at Florida airport

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.

When I was just out of college I had a relative come visit me after I had moved far away. She brought a frozen turkey with her on the plane. I still laugh to this day about that bird like we didnt have grocery stores near my house.

At least she didnt try to stuff it with a gun.

With that bunch of go-getters, the gun must have fallen out of the chicken.

Better than finding raw chicken in a gun...

I’ve heard of packing chickens but not of chickens packing.

If a frog had side pockets, he’d carry a handgun.

At least he didn't stuff it into a human head.

Voodoo head found in air luggage

The head smuggler was Haitian Woman, not Florida Man.

But, the head was intercepted at FLL, just as was the packing chicken carcass.

If it was going to be cooked rotisserie style it was probably a revolver.
