8 CRAZIEST THINGS FOUND BY AIRPORT SECURITY

in #airport7 years ago

You probably know airport security officers are very professional workers and almost nothing surprises them. They can calmly confiscate illegal medicines currency and prohibited substances arrest people in suitcases and make criminals pay for their acts.However there are still some things found in luggage and hand luggage of different passengers which can surprise even the most skeptical Aimages (1).jpg workers in this artical.

#1 cannon ball in 2012 one passenger flying from fort lauderdale tried to carry onboard a real cannonball as it turned out the clever man was a diver. he found the round shot in the seabed and decided to bring the legally obtained souvenir home that this seemingly justifiable excuse did not save him the naive swimmer probably didn't know that the powder charge inside cannonballs keeps working for centuries and the projectile can explode in the most inappropriate place.So the diver had to say goodbye to his precious round shots and also to a rather large sum of money which he had to pay for his mistake.

#2 Chihuahua if you have a pet that you don't want to leave alone at home then when you fly your pet flies along with you therefore you know that the transportation of animals in planes is allowed nevertheless this is possible only if you follow some strict rules showing many documents on the health of the animal however this passenger who was flying home in 2009 from Dublin decided to skip all this unnecessary formality simply placed his dog in a bag and registered it as hand luggage initially security officials thought there was a toy irport in the bag and were very surprised when they found a real Chihuahua inside as you may have guessed the not very clever passenger had to postpone his flight.

#3 Baby tiger people had tried to illegally transport animals onboard not only dogs in bags in 2010 a woman flown from Bangkok to Iran tried to carry a live tiger with her can you imagine the passenger placed the sleeping animal in a bag full of toy Tigers hoping that this would work as camouflage however her idea of course failed the tiger cub returned to freedom and the criminal was punished.

#4 A whole zoo however a baby tiger is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to attempts of illegally transporting animals by plane as you already knew security officers often have to arrest animal smugglers but this South African citizen out did all previous passengers in 2009 when flying to South Africa from Thailand this man was arrested for illegally carrying more than 70 live animals snakes scorpions caimans and turtles were just some of them we don't know exactly what he was thinking but we do know that the animals were confiscated and sent to quarantine and the man was arrested on charges of large-scale smuggling.

#5 Caterpillars what would Simone and pumbaa carry with them if they decided to go on a trip well of course their favorites but rather nasty snack different books and caterpillars while it seems we found a distant relative of this jolly animated duo anyway not so long ago at London Gatwick Airport customs security officers confiscated a load of dried caterpillars from a young man tens of thousands of insects packed in plastic bags and wrapped in burlap bags were found in the luggage of a passenger flying from Burkina Faso a country in West Africa we can only say hakuna matata.

#6 Fire no we're not talking about the magic Blue Bell flames used by the heroes crazy by JK Rowling here's the story a woman was flying from Atlantic City but she wasn't planning to take a real torch on board however she did something worse she packed her hair spray and a lighter in one bag due to the shaking the spray leaked the lighter sparked and then well you probably know what happened next rice when the woman was being checked her baggage suddenly caught on fire with a bright flame fortunately no one got hurt but imagine if this would have happened during the flight yeah thankfully this story ended well.

#7 Refueled chainsaw let's be honest few people would think that bringing a refueled chainsaw plane is a good idea if another horror film villain of course probably that's why chainsaws are not even listed as a forbidden item for transportation on aeroplanes but when security officers suddenly found in this passenger's bag this dangerous instrument filled to the top with gasoline they had to give him a pretty convincing lecture on the rules of for transporting liquids he might have accidentally caused a fire in the air well you know there might have been some lighter or hairspray around right.

#8 Baby and for dessert our truly amazing and surprising finding sometimes a couple decides to save some time on making the right documents for their child this baby didn't have a visa and in order to quickly take their child home from the United Arab Emirates the couple unwilling to film any documents just handed it in as luggage yes they simply place the baby in a travel bag naturally x-ray inspectors immediately notice the living being and detained both the luggage and its owners we don't know what the punishment for the parents was but probably they had to fill in a lot of documents in court that's for sure so have you ever seen some weird baggage at the airport.
