Transportation Security Administration agents in South Florida were in for a shock when they discovered snakes concealed in a passenger’s pants at a checkpoint in Miami International Airport.
The incident occurred on Friday, with TSA releasing photos showing two slender pink snakes removed from a small camo-colored bag.
Following the discovery, TSA contacted Customs and Border Protection Southeast Region and Miami-Dade Police for assistance.
The identity of the passenger was not disclosed, and it remains unclear whether they were apprehended.
The snakes, which were turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, prompted questions about whether they were the passenger’s pets or being transported illicitly.
