Here are some of our faves:
1. Bag of eels. A passenger passing through Miami’s international airport in 2012 tried to transport 163 tropical fish and 22 invertebrates to Maracaibo in Venezuela. The passenger surrendered the items to the US Fish and Wildlife service.
2. The Batarang! Yes, folks, apparently the TSA stopped Batman in San Antonio in 2011… he must’ve taken a wrong turn trying to get back to Gotham.
7. Stuffed animals filled with guns. Mickey apparently saw Blow and listened to Gangster’s Paradise on repeat. Seriously, who in their right mind thought they could get a gun through airport security by hiding it in a stuffed animal? That’s like the worst stereotype from a bad drug smuggling movie from the 90’s.
And speaking of drug smuggling…
8. In a valiant effort some brilliant scholars thought it would be a great idea to try to smuggle pot in a tomato soup can. Perhaps they overlooked that smuggling narcotics is actually one of the reasons the TSA exists. A for effort guys… okay, more like C-.
9. This is what the TSA really means when they tell you you can’t take mace on the plane.
10. This last one is a doozy…or should I say Scooby Doozy? Someone hid a knife in a Scooby Doo birthday card. Looks like Little Jimmy got just what he wanted!
