TSA must search wild cat crate
I'm a big fan of Big Cat Rescue, which is a wild cat sanctuary in Tampa for cats that cannot live in the wild but should not be privately owned. In this video, they are transporting a bobcat from CT to Tampa. SWA was nice and donated 3 seats after the other airlines wouldn't let the cat on board.
The TSA wanted the BCR worker to remove the cat from the carrier in the middle of the airport so they could search the carrier for contraband. Doesn't this seem ridiculous? Did they think she was engaged in a plot to bring something on board the plane by using the cat? They eventually gave her a room to remove the cat and searched in the crate.
