BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Airport security agents at Boston's Logan International Airport stopped a biologist after discovering the severed head of a harbor seal in his luggage.
The man, whose name was not released, told investigators he is a biology professor and that he found a dead seal on Revere Beach and cut off its head so he could use it for educational purposes. He was catching a flight to Denver from Boston on Friday, Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella told The Boston Globe.

Can I bury my dog if it dies?
I suspect the law is a bit more specific than 'dead mammal'.

The TSA took his dead seal head.
Will it end up on EBAY?
To: Indy Pendance
Federal wildlife laws make it illegal to disrupt or remove body parts from a dead mammal
Ummmm....it's dead, Jim.
