MIAMI (AP/Web Desk) — Airport security officers in Miami found a slithering surprise last week — a bag of snakes hidden in a passenger’s pants.
According to an X post by the Transportation Security Administration, officers at the Miami International Airport found the small bag of snakes hidden in a passenger’s trousers on April 26 at a checkpoint.

The post included a photo of two small snakes that were found in what appeared to be a sunglasses bag.
TSA said the snakes were turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, as they called the US Customs and Border Protection as well as the Miami-Dade police officials to assist.
SNAKE ON A TRAIN
Last month, a passenger alerted the security to a 40-centimetre (nearly 16-inch) serpent lurking on a train between Nagoya and Tokyo, resulting in a 17-minute hold-up.
It was unclear whether the cold-blooded commuter was venomous or how it ended up on the train, and there was no injury or panic among passengers, a spokesman for Central Japan Railway Company told AFP
Shinkansen customers can bring small dogs, cats and other animals, including pigeons on board -- but not snakes.
The train was originally scheduled to go on to Osaka, but the company decided to use a different train for the trip, causing a delay of about 17 minutes, he said.
