What were they thinking? Airport security officers in Miami found a slithering surprise recently – a bag of snakes hidden in a passenger’s pants. According to an X post by the US Transportation Security Administration, officers at Miami International Airport found the reptiles concealed by an unnamed traveller at a checkpoint.

The post included a photo of two small snakes that were found in what appeared to be a sunglasses bag in the passenger’s pants.

Transportations officials said the snakes were turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
