one of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an
emergency Every year, thousands of people come in contact with airport security.
And it is only normal to say they all carry a diverse kinds of things to travel with.
However, the security team occasionally comes across some of the most outrageous items some
of which are unapproved through the x ray machines and inspections, At the end of the
day, the goals are simple, safety and security.
Some of these items are innocuous, some are dangerous, and some are even alive.
All are prohibited on board.
Clearly, some of these passengers are not to blame as most of them don’t even know
what items are actually not approved onboard.
From Venomous snakes to human skull fragments, here are 5 outrageous things found by airport
security.
5) Dead body A woman 66 yrs. old was arrested while trying
to board a plane from Liverpool to Germany with her dead husband 91 yrs.
On accusations that she tried to smuggle a corpse on to a flight to Berlin.
The woman was arrested at John Lennon Airport when it was discovered that her husband, as
she claimed, a former pilot, was dead.
The 91-year-old man had been put in a wheelchair and his eyes covered with sunglasses as the
pair made their way through the airport.
The women said she thought he was simply asleep and had covered his face because of an eye
problem they did not want other passenger to stare at.
They denied claims that the man, had been dead for some time, insisting he was alive
when the three got a taxi from their home in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
A post-mortem examination concluded that the man died from natural causes up to 12 hours
before he was pronounced dead.
4) Cannonball Did you know that cannonballs can retain their
explosiveness for years?
Neither did we, but they have a habit of randomly detonating on their own, we obviously shouldn’t
think of packing them in our luggage due to its overweight fees but, unfortunately for
the 290 passengers who were delayed at Ft.
Lauderdale International Airport in 2012, and neither did the diver who tried to bring
home an old cannonball he found near a shipwreck knew anything about the risk involved in bringing
it onboard.
Maybe he had calculated the risk.
security 3) Venomous Snakes
: "A container of dead venomous snakes was found in checked baggage at Newark.
Since dead snakes are not prohibited.
The snakes were permitted to travel.
The large liquid jar holding the snakes needed to be inspected due to an explosive-detection
system alarm.
No dead snakes were harmed however.
2) Baby I think the summer heat is making people crazy—airports
are melting, parents are smuggling babies, and flight attendants can’t keep it together,
if you’re denied entry to a country because your child doesn’t have a visa, do not proceed
to get in line for security anyway Just zip your kid inside your carry-on.
According to ABC News, an Egyptian couple was told by customs officials at Sharjah International
Airport that they could not enter the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because they did not have
a visa for their son.
So, the parents zipped the boy inside a carry-on bag and went through, even going as far to
put the bag through an X-ray machine, where the baby inside was obviously found.
The couple was arrested.
1) Human-Skull Fragments Carefully check your vacation purchases before
heading to the airport.
You never know when they may end up containing human-skull fragments.
Passengers in Ft.
Lauderdale were seriously delayed in 2013 when the clay pots they'd checked in their
luggage were found to contain fragments of human skull.
According to the TSA, the flyers claimed they didn't realize that their souvenirs came with
bonus body parts inside.
The pieces weren't considered a security threat by the TSA but were instead treated as evidence
in a crime scene.
Okay I know.
If you’re in doubt about what you can bring on board a plane, you can always go to the
TSA's website or mobile app and use the "Can I Bring?"
feature that way, you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
