Plastic Bag Full of Eels
For your intention, it is ill-advised to try and smuggle anything onboard a plane. Yet alone, a plastic bag full of eels in addition to 163 tropical fish and 22 invertebrates. The TSA agents confiscated the eels and the rest of the animals when a flyer attempted to smuggle them through security in a checked bag.
The passenger surrendered all the animals to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
