Southwest Finds Shipment of Heads on a Plane
NBC ^ | June 17, 2010 | SCOTT GORDON

A Southwest Airlines employee called police after finding 40 to 60 human heads in a package set to be transported to a Fort Worth medical research company, the airline said.

"It wasn't labeled or packaged properly," said Ashley Rogers, a Southwest spokeswoman. "They called the local authorities."

The incident happened in Little Rock, Ark., last Wednesday, she said.

Little Rock police turned the heads over to the county coroner, who questions where they came from and if they were properly obtained.

Shipment from Mexico. Remainder to follow.

I was thinking along the same lines.

8 heads on a Southwest Air flight? Hard to believe. 8 heads on Mexicana Airlines?

Yeah. I could see that.

It is generally legal to buy, sell, and own human bones. Most were imported from Asia. Supply has recently been reduced so prices have jumped.

This could be a situation where one alert airline employee has stirred up a hornet's nest. The company involved, JLS Consulting, had their license revoked last year. Selling of bodies and body parts is regulated, so they shouldn't have been shipping these parts without a license. A company spokesman is blaming the courier, saying the courier didn't properly ID the parts.

My guess is that since JLS no longer had a license to sell body parts, they were using their previous contacts from when they did have a license, and were not labeling shipments so they would be less likely to be discovered.

Human bodies for medical training and research are in demand. There's a history of bodies being acquired by illegal methods.

I’m pleased to see that I’m not the only one to think that every time I see a stop ahead sign. One day, I’m going to paint an exclamation point on one of those signs.

1. There are too many "ew, gross" points in this story to address each one, so I will simply issue one big "Ew, gross" statement.

2. I just read this story and noticed that the open tab reads "Heads on a Plane!". heehee

Not a problem. Islamic surplus.

He came in too late to get to the lab one time. He ususally spent the night at my house.

Pulled the same practical joke stuff on my wife and she would never let him in the door again.

If they make a movie about this, would the title have to be, “Heads On A Plane”?

That movie could go in one of four directions (or all four):

>porno

>horror

>Mafia

>Mexican drug war
