Passenger discovered with a buoy in hand luggage

"Snake on a plane" is not only the title of a popular movie, but also an unease that is verifying more and more spesso In the skies around the world.

During one of my trips to Thailand, I witnessed the capture of a snake inside the Koh Samui airport. While waiting for my flight to Bangkok, I saw airport security intervene to resolve the emergency.

What was discovered in a passenger's suitcase in recent days in the United States, however, was something never seen before.

Last month, a woman attempted to bring A nearly 5-foot boa constrictor in a carry-on luggage through a TSA checkpoint at Tampa International Airport.
