I wish I had a picture of it, but I swear it's true.

I was in IAH on Friday waiting for my United flight back to ORD, and there was a guy waiting near the podium that had a full rack from a Texas Longhorn, wrapped in bubble wrap, waiting to board the flight.

I'm talking full size, like this, I kid you not.

The GA gave him a green gate check tag as if it was commonplance (maybe it is in Texas ). As if he was checking a stroller or something.

They must have been AT LEAST four feet long, if not five plus.

So, I want to know: How in the WORLD did this guy get through security???

(And no, it was not this guy )
