Snakes (Nearly) on a Plane

Argentine airport personnel averted potential disaster earlier this month, when they prevented one traveler from sneaking hundreds of dangerous stowaways onto his flight. They first became suspicious when an X-ray scanner revealed movement within the man's suitcase. When security personnel checked his bags, they found nearly 250 snakes, insects, spiders, lizards, and snails packed inside plastic containers, bags, and even socks. Among them were nine species of venomous snakes and a number of boa constrictors. Had any of these creatures escaped during the flight or once they reached their destination, the results could have been deadly.
