“Flying Snakes”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/09/95-boa-constrictors-in-luggage-prompt-a-guilty-plea/1
A man trying to board a plane in Malaysia was caught smuggling 95 live boa constrictors in his luggage when his suitcase broke open. Commented actor Samuel L. Jackson, “Enough is enough. I’m tired of all these Ma-laysian snakes on this Ma-laysian plane!”

Though there were 95 snakes all packed together, they still had more room than the passengers on commercial airplanes.

On the plus side, since the snakes scattered, for the first time in years, the Malaysian airport’s rodent problem was eliminated in minutes.

Airport security never thought that there would be all those snakes coiled up inside the case, just waiting to burst out. They thought the container was filled with peanut brittle.

The snakes themselves were not considered a security risk, since snakes are, by their nature, unarmed.
