Last month, we had the guy trying to smuggle 18 monkeys under his shirt. Now it's 14 Giant African Land Snails. They grow as large as 8 inches long and 4 inches tall. They're illegal because they're an invasive species. (Plus they're just gross.)
Other live animals found in people's luggage include snakes, crocodiles, turtles, frogs, scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, a tiger cub hidden among stuffed animals, and a chihuahua in a carry-on duffel bag, which was sent through the X-ray machine. (At least that's better than sending a baby through the X-ray.)
What's more bizarre is people smuggling large numbers of live animals under their clothes, like the aforementioned monkeys.

Meanwhile, two days ago, a Florida bomb squad blew up a toy stuffed pony outside an elementary school. (Can't be too careful.) Video of the explosion -- including slow motion -- is on Youtube.Why do animals hate freedom?
