Here's another guy who tried to smuggle a 100 pound snapping turtle in his pants. He lost his girlfriend shortly after the pic was taken.

Shoulda told them it was his “Emotional Support Turtle” and they would have let him keep it.

On a previous flight, the guy was probably roughed up down there by the TSA goons. One heckuva jock strap…

My very first memory of shooting a gun was a no-name 1906 (year made) .22 bolt-action rifle my grandfather owned. We used to go up on a hill on his farm in Idaho and shoot down into the pond killing snapping turtles! I never asked how the snappers got into his pond in the first place. But what great fun that was!
