A Real Cat Does Not Taste Like a Buck: A Case Study in New York for a Closer Look at Strangers on a Plane

People take strange things on planes — that’s nothing new. And the suitcase checked for a journey from New York JFK to Orlando, Florida, on November 16 certainly contained some oddities. The bottle, wine glasses, a pair of flipflops and life-size outline of a cat could be seen by officials as it rolled through the X-ray machine.

It turned out that the outline was life-size because the cat was a real cat: ginger, alive and, apparently, unharmed by its past few hours of being stuffed into a suitcase and flung around on its way onto the plane. It was a plane that could have died in the hold on the flight.

Despite them dealing daily with everything from unauthorized firearms to illicit cranberry sauce, “It’s rare to discover a live animal in a checked bag,” she said. The cat didn’t try to escape when they opened the case.

In November, a poor smelling cat was found in a carry-on bag at an airport. The person with the carry-on said the cat wasn’t his but came from his household. After the experience and the humiliation, Smells was given a sumptuous Thanksgiving spread.

The passenger needs to remove the pet from a carry case and either walk the pet through the metal detector on a leash or go through the walk-through metal detector. This is typical of how people travel with small dogs. In the case of a cat, if there is no leash, we strongly recommend that the passenger requests screening in a private screening room.”

Snakes on a plane, nope ropes, and scrunchies in baggage carry-on luggage: The case of one 4-foot boa constrictor

This time the discovery was an old standby theme popularized in movies: snakes on a plane! Well, it was one 4-foot boa constrictor to be exact. But technically, it did not make it to the plane. It’s intriguing.

The details from the transportation security administration’s account was posted Friday afternoon. The incident happened on December 15, TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein told CNN Travel in an email.

“Do you have asp-rations of taking a snake on a plane? Don’t get upsetti spaghetti if you don’t know the airline’s rules. Many airlines don’t allow nope ropes in carry on bags and only a few allow them to slither around in checked bags, if packaged correctly.

The folks running TSA security checkpoints at airports have some real humdingers to tell about the things they uncover. Soiled money. Inert grenades. There are drugs inside scrunchies.

She said it appeared the person didn’t know to remove the pet from the carry-on travel case before going through the checkpoint.
