200 tarantulas
A person’s beloved pet is undeniably an intimate matter. Even so, an Amsterdam airport officer raised their suspicions when he discovered spiders in a German couple’s luggage during a normal search. On their way back from Peru, the German couple had to wait for a connecting aircraft.
Tarantulas and other creepy crawlies that the couple had stored in small boxes began to emerge as soon as they opened the case. Captured and quarantined animals were found to be disease-free.
