At least the TSA can stop snakes from getting on a mother fricken plane

It turns out the TSA body scanner can detect certain wiggly hidden objects:

Findlaw: TSA: Man hid 7 snakes, 3 tortoises in his pants

TSA spokesman Jonathon Allen says the man was stopped after passing through a body scanner at Miami International Airport last Thursday. Security officials spotted the nylon bags filled with seven snakes and three tortoises stuffed inside the man's pants.

The plane was going from Miami to Brazil. Who the heck transports exotic snakles and tortoises from the US to Brazil? Isn't such exotic smuggling typically done the other way around?

Sorry, but you couldn't pay me enough money to put one snake down my pants, forget about 7 of em.

Of course, properly done, this could have been a rather effective protest against pat downs....imagine the poor TSAer that tried to touch this goofball's junk.

Yet another opportunity lost due to idiots.
