Plastic Bag Full of Eels
Smuggling anything aboard a plane is a bad idea, no matter what your intentions are. In addition to the 163 tropical fish and 22 invertebrates in the bag, there was a slew of eels. The TSA authorities confiscated the eels and the rest of the animals when a flyer tried to carry them past security in checked luggage.
All of the animals were handed up to the US Fish and Wildlife Service by the passenger on the flight.
