If you’re hoping to bring along your pet baby shark on an upcoming flight, it might be fine the TSA allows people to fly with live fish, as long as they’re contained in water (which can exceed the usual 3.4-ounce limit).
If you’re traveling with a dead shark suspended in a chemical substance, on the other hand, you’ll probably have to hit the road. Last fall, someone tried to make it through security at Syracuse Hancock International Airport with a jar that contained a dead baby shark “floating in a liquid chemical preservative” that TSA officers concluded was too hazardous to permit on a plane. But the specimen’s 15 minutes of infamy didn’t quite end there it just landed in sixth place on the TSA’s list of weirdest items confiscated in 2020.
The TSA has released its top 10 unusual finds recovered from air passengers in 2019.
At number one, two TSA canine handlers at Newark Liberty International Airport caught each other, and married in the presence of their Explosive Detection Canines, Obelix and Proto. The two canines not only detect explosives but also detect love when they see it, TSA said in an Instagram post.
In 2020, love came out on top for TSA, leaving grenades and dead sharks in the dust.
Should you need to bring a shark on a plane, though, just make sure it s swimming in water, not chemical solution, the TSA said.
