Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers discovered snakes hidden in a passenger's pants, at Miami International Airport (MIA) at the end of April.
When searching the traveler at a checkpoint at the air terminal on April 26, the agents detected a bag hidden in his clothing, which contained the snakes, reported in X the TSA this Tuesday.
The post includes photographs of two small snakes that the officer takes out of a bag of sunglasses, apparently from the Oakley brand.
Agency authorities called U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Miami-Dade Police to intervene in the case, while the snakes were handed over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The TSA did not reveal the identity of the passenger.
This was not the first discovery of snakes in the possession of people who were trying to take a plane from an airport in the United States.
In December 2022, agents were stunned when the baggage checkpoint at Tampa International Airport went off and They found a boa constrictor in a traveler's carry-on suitcase no more and no less than four feet long (approximately 1.2 meters).
Miami airport officials were equally surprised in July 2018 when they discovered a python inside a bag hidden in a part of a computer hard drive, that a man intended to enter a plane that would fly to Barbados.
But not only wild animals are among the unusual and illegal “belongings” that passengers try to take with them on flights.
The inside of a frozen chicken seemed like the perfect hiding place for a woman to camouflage a weapon. with charger, inside your hand luggage. However, TSA officers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport prevented the gun from boarding the aircraft.
