Cat Is Out Of The Bag
May 3rd 2007 16:41
An adventurous tabby took an unexpected trip this week, after slyly crawling into her keeper's luggage and clearing lax Canadian airport security, local media said Wednesday.
Mary Martell unwittingly traveled 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) from Saint John Airport on Canada's Atlantic coast all the way to Toronto, then to Niagara-on-the-Lake by car with the live cat in her suitcase.
She told public broadcaster CBC the bag was scanned at the airport, but she was not stopped and it was eventually loaded into the airplane's cargo bay.
"They had asked me, when they put ... the luggage through the X-ray, whether I had a turkey," she said.
"(Airport security) kept going back and forth with (the suitcase)," Martell said. "I was adamant: 'Look, I have no turkey.'"
Martell said she only discovered Ginger, the family pet, when she opened her luggage in a hotel room, after the three-hour journey. The cat had apparently snuck into a bag while Martell was packing.

Cute. LAX is said to be the strictest airport in the US and they made this boo boo. And we're not allowed to bring liquids into a plane. Come on!

Security at LAX is at best a joke! I've flown in and out of there several times, and they all look as if they're asleep on the job..
I mean poor kitty, but damn, if you though you saw a turkey in someone's luggage wouldn't you been even just a little curious and want to have a look at it??
Christ, what if the turkey had a damned bomb in it?
Ok, now I'm on a rant! Heheeh...
Great post, leavin laughn as usual!
Take care,
Nick
