Snakes and Mollusks and Reptiles on a Plane

You know it's not going to be a good day when somebody's luggage is writhing going through the baggage x-ray.

Earlier this month in Argentina, screeners found a Czech national's suitcase filled with 247 critters as he attempted to board a flight to Madrid. Two of the creatures had already died and the others would have if they'd been placed in the cargo hold.

Apparently Karel Abelovsky was part of an endangered species smuggling ring and not very good at his job.
