Monday Frivol: Snakes on a Plane!

Filed under: Frivol — Random Yak @ 9:36 am on August 13, 2007

Riddle me this, Batman:

WhenCairo airport security discovered a man attempting to board a flight to Saudi Arabia carrying two duffel bags filled with live snakes (including at least one cobra), chameleons and baby crocodiles,did security personnel:

A. Confiscate the bags, arrest the snake smuggler and send the plane on to Saudi Arabia reptile-and-smuggler free.

or

B. Confiscate the bags, and send the man on his merry way with a warning about the potential dangers of carrying poisonous reptiles on international flights.

Yep. Option B.

The reptiles ended up at the Cairo zoo, and the snake-carrier boarded his flight after receiving a stern warning about the appropriate contents of carry-on luggage.

Maybe next time he’ll be smart enough to remember the cardinal rule of airline travel:lotions, shampoo and live cobrasbelong inchecked baggage, not carry-on.
