Jul 04, 2014
LEEDS, United Kingdom - Undoubtedly most airline passengers have experienced airport security controls and have been forced to leave behind small bottles of water, nail clippers or even cheese, just for being too creamy. On the other hand, less innocent objects have tried to pass the inspection and on occasion even succeeded. According to the travel search engine Jetcost, these are the ten strangest “hand luggage” items that have attempted to board a plane:

1. A turtle in a hamburger.

2. A weapon and ammunition in his son’s stuffed toys.

3. Tadpoles inside the mouth.

4. Seven snakes and three turtles in his pants.

5. A corpse in a wheelchair pretending to be a passenger.

6. A crocodile in a briefcase.

7. A cranium and several human teeth in a suitcase.

8. A laser sword from Star Wars.

9. A pigmy monkey in the underwear.

10. A knife in a mayonnaise jar.

1. A pigmy monkey in underwear isn't strange

He's probably more comfortable traveling that way. I'd fly in my underwear, too, if I could get away with it.

2. But would you fly hiding in someone else's underwear?

6. That would depend on who--or what--is after me

3. You could put all those lines together and make a song

4. Just plug them into an old classic, like (for example)...

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me
Seven snakes and three turtles in his pants.

5. Or was he just happy to see you?

7. What if they were snapping turtles...

8. #10

I confess the knife in a mayonnaise jar is a bit of let-down after the first 9.

9. yeah, i think i left a spoon in the mayonnaise jar one time

it was no big deal & it certainly didn't make a list of any kind

i was still allowed to fly but my daughter had serious doubts about my sandwich-making capabilities for the next day or so

10. Women try to take body on plane at Liverpool airport

This is the best one.



Police have arrested two women after they tried to take the body of a dead relative on to a plane at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Staff became suspicious when they tried to check in 91-year-old Curt Willi Jarant, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday.

The women - his widow and step-daughter - said they thought he was asleep. They were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death, police said. The pair, who are German nationals but live in Oldham, Greater Manchester, have been released on bail until 1 June. It is understood they took Mr Jarant to the airport in a taxi.

'Moving and breathing'
Asked to describe her late husband, who she called Willi, Gitta Jarant said: "[He was] the best man of the world - good man.
"I [did not] kill my Willi. My Willi is my god. I [have loved] my Willi for 22 years." Mr Jarant's step-daughter Anke Anusic added: "They would think that for 24 hours we would carry a dead person? This is ridiculous. He was moving, he was breathing. Eight people saw him."
