It’s a Bug’s Life
TSA agents see some pretty strange things when they work airport security. A lot of agents will say that passengers attempting to smuggle exotic animals in their baggage or carry-on bags is pretty common. Every airport employee probably has a wild story or two. One agent, though, had a particularly unique security checkpoint experience.
One day, this agent noticed some containers full of oddly wrapped items in someone’s baggage. They decided to take a closer look, and were shocked to find boxes full of scorpions! The passenger was attempting to smuggle 200 live scorpions from Sri Lanka to China. We don’t know what they planned to do with them, but thankfully, they did not succeed.
