The Transportation Security Administration publicly humiliated one passenger who tried to smuggle a weapon in a raw chicken (TSA).
On Monday, TSA posted a pun-filled Instagram snap, complete with many photos of the banned products and the raw chicken, and a warning to passengers that TSA inspectors will continuously be on the lookout for such “half-baked” hijinks.
The caption included a reference to the author’s own chicken.
The plot begins to unravel in our haste to prepare for Thanksgiving. We are grateful to the police officers who keep us secure this Thanksgiving. Airport code FLL, which serves both Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, yielded one “hen, you believe it?” discovery. We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but packing a pistol in your Thanksgiving bird and taking it on the road is not a good idea. This method lacked the refinement necessary to make edible food. Both the packing and the lack of roasting were really disappointing.
Despite the rules, you still can’t bring your firearms and ammunition onto an aircraft. Read up on safe packing practices by clicking the link in our bio to avoid a potential tragedy.
The TSA said it was fine to transport the raw chicken in a cooler with ice since it had been frozen. The weapon might have been checked as baggage if it had been dismantled and placed in a protective case.
Magazines, clips, bolts, and firing pins are prohibited in carry-on bags but are allowed in checked luggage, according to the TSA website.
However, scopes for rifles and toy guns are permitted in checked bags.
Posts of clever travel jokes from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are rather popular on Instagram. Another recent piece derives tremendous comedic value from a lost fake tooth.
