Man nabbed at US airport with snakes in his pants
That's what authorities at Miami's international airport said they found inside the trousers of a passenger as he tried to board a flight for Brazil.
The US Transportation Security Administration said the man had seven exotic snakes and three tortoises wrapped in nylon bags that had been stuffed into his pants.
He was discovered as he went through a body scanner at one of the airport's security checkpoints on Thursday and arrested by US Fish and Wildlife Service officials for violating animal trafficking laws.
Authorities declined to identify the man or offer any explanation for his botched attempt at reptile smuggling.
