How the fuck did a dead fish get through airport security? Is that allowed? Also - why? Especially if it’s old enough to have maggots.

Turning the flight around seems a little extreme. They could have just microwaved the fish to kill the maggots.

Yep. Still a problem well into the future, but decidedly cuter. :smiley:


(I’m just happy not to be aware of a silly gif that better represents the incident. 0_o )

It wasn’t dead when it went through security, the maggots were a flight snack.

I have the weirdest boner right now.

Something similar, but fortunately not as disgusting happened to me.

We where stopping over at Fumicino Airport in Rome, on the way to Milan.
There had been a problem at Calabria where we boarded and about half the luggage wasn’t loaded in our plane. So some of us had to wait as the luggage would turn up, in different incoming planes.
There was a desperate woman compaining at the desk that she had packed a large fresh fish in her luggage and by the time she would get it, it would probabbly not be good enough to eat anymore.

The women working at the desk would look at each other puzzled, who would pack a fish their luggage?
