BOSTON (CBS) – TSA agents have found a number of strange things in luggage over the years, but their latest unusual discovery is uniquely New England.
A spokesman shared a photo Monday of a lobster weighing more than 20 pounds. The crustacean was detected in a checked bag in Terminal C (JetBlue) on Sunday morning.
Lobsters can travel in either carry-on or checked bags. They’re a common sight at New England airports, but this one was notable because of how large it is.
The TSA tells WBZ-TV that the lobster was traveling in a cooler and was alive and well.
Nope. Not true. Been there. Ate that. Fresh that day off George’s Bank. Awesome. 25lb.
I’m guessing that that poor b@stard will be living out his days in a tank in the Lobby of the local Red Lobster. :(
Lucky for him (maybe!) he’s too expensive to buy and cook up, LOL!
Seriously? Let him live! Our garbage truck ran over a Snapping Turtle that was HUGE. Based on size (and some googling) we estimated that the turtle must’ve been 50 years old!
Survived all of those 50 years, only to be run over by a garbage truck. *SNIF*
Probably take pictures wearing the ladies undies
How can you cook a lobster that big and cook the meat evenly? I think it would be overdone on the outside and under done on the inside.
You slice it??
I’m one of those who spent my high school years on the water eating so much lobster that it doesn’t do anything for me anymore.
I wish I could share the excitement, but it’s just not there.
Touché.
So why is a TSA goon opening the cooler, removing the lobster, and taking a picture? Do they also open cleared luggage, and take pictures holding up ladies undies?
That’s a good question. The answer is he’s stealing it, but he’s wondering where the passenger packed the 5 pounds of clarrified butter to go with the lobster.
Another couple months and even Hannibal Lecter won't give me a second glance.
A few years back, the city of Ft. Walton Beach filled in a swampy area to expand the city-owned golf course.
Thousands of turtles were displaced and tried crossing a busy highway to find a new home.
There were dead turtles along that highway for months.................
While respecting the Red Lobster, I still find the Blue Crab tastier. Unfortunately, both are more often caught in blue states.
Mud-roach syndrome.
TSA Agents?
I think we are going to need a bigger boat. I am just glad he lives in the sea and I live on the land.
I had a small farm across from a lake that the DNR owned, so no fishin’, no nothin’ - so I just enjoyed the ‘nature’ of it all.
It wasn’t the first turtle killed on our road, but it was by FAR the largest.
I had to use a snow shovel to push it to the other ditch so my dogs wouldn’t get ‘interested’ in it and go by the road. Half of me was grossed out - the other half was thinking...’Turtle Soup.’ LOL!
Taking pictures in an inspection area is forbidden, much less photographing yourself posing with a passenger's belongings, and then posting it on the internet?
I don't like to make assumptions about people based on their choice of work - two of the smartest people I ever knew were a longshoreman and a farmer.
That being said the TSA is filled with window-licking idiots. A staggering failure rate at stopping something harmless. If the jihadis wanted to blow up a plane, they'd have no trouble with these morons on watch.
I lived south of San Diego, CA in the early 80’s, right on the beach. The Blue Crabs were the BEST - once you got past the screeching that they did when you put them into the boiling water.
Man, sometimes it sucks being at the TOP of The Food Chain...but I sure wouldn’t want to be at the bottom, LOL!
>>Lunch....and dinner....and snack....and leftovers...and<<
The most decadent thing (OK, top 10) was to have scrambled eggs and lobster with leftover (go figure) lobster from a previous evening’s dinner.
Orgasmic.
Really.
