TSA finding the Snakes inside his pants...almost

TSA is finding the snakes inside his pants and it could be almost to get inside the aircraft. This is happening the man who went through MMW. It could be potential threats. Wildlife officers was on the scene. Unfortunately, he was arrested as charge of violating the Lacey Act.

He could be banned from the flight. He won't accept flying on the commercial airplanes for the life.

I'm pretty sure the TSOs are able to find the snakes in the pants of roughly 50% of pax.

Kinda gives new meaning the expression "trouser snake" and I really do not want to know where inside his pants the snakes were

Further screening revealed seven exotic snakes and three tortoises....
I wonder if he would have gotten away with it if it was just one snake and two tortoises

While snakes and tortoises may not pose a threat to aviation, (non-metallic) weapons and explosives concealed beneath clothing remain a concern for security personnel and this discovery demonstrates again the effectiveness of advanced imaging technology.
Nice self pat on the back and maybe the snakes were perspiring?

And the Secret Service wrestled the snakes and tortoises to the groun.....

That's funny, huh? I don't think ever calling Mr. Jackson. You can't be bothered him. he's too extremely busy.
