Schlagwort: Airplanes

Ein Reisender am JFK-Flughafen in New York musste bei der Gepäckaufgabe feststellen, dass sich die WG-Katze, Smells, in seinen Koffer geschummelt hat, was von der TSA während einer routinemäßigen Röntgenaufnahme festgestellt wurde. Die Katze durfte nicht mit, wurde wieder nach Hause gebracht, der Kofferbesitzer buchte seinen Flug um und nutzte diesen dann.

People take strange things on planes — that’s nothing new. And the suitcase checked for a journey from New York JFK to Orlando, Florida, on November 16 certainly contained some oddities. As it rolled through the X-ray machine, TSA officials could see what appeared to be bottles, wine glasses, a pair of flip flops — and a life-size outline of a cat.

It turned out that the outline was life-size because the cat was a real cat: ginger, alive and, apparently, unharmed by its past few hours of being stuffed into a suitcase and flung around on its way onto the plane. A plane where, of course, it could easily have died in the hold during the flight.

We’re letting the cat out of the bag on a hiss-toric find. This CATch had our baggage screening officers @JFKairport saying, “Come on meow”! Feline like you have travel questions reach out to our furiends @AskTSA. They’re available every day, from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. (ET). pic.twitter.com/LpIkLbAgzC
