Here are a couple of things to make you wonder about airport security.
It appears that a passenger was detained in New York after being caught with an unusual traveling companion – a spider monkey – that he tried to hide under his hat!
The New York Times reported that the man boarded a Spirit Airlines flight in Lima, Peru, bound for New York. The flight crew only noticed the stowaway on the second leg of the journey after a plane change in Florida.
Other passengers first noticed the pint-sized primate. “It was clinging to his ponytail underneath his hat,” airline spokeswoman Alison Russell said.
“How the passenger got through security, I can’t begin to say,” she told the newspaper. The unidentified man was questioned by federal officers, while his furry friend was handed over to New York officials.
The man was detained for further investigation.
The Mole says that on a recent media trip in and out of Los Angeles the airport security system failed to pick up a several inch long, metal prong shaped hair clip that one of the journos had in her hair.
It could easily have been used as a weapon.
