When a TSA officer recently spotted a cat inside one traveler's luggage as it passed through the security scanner at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, the agent was 'shocked.'
Small pets can be perfectly good air travel companions, provided their owners follow the rules. For example, most airlines require animals to remain in carriers throughout the duration of their flights — and none allow them to fly as carry-on cargo.
So, when a Transportation Security Administration officer recently spotted a cat inside one traveler's luggage as it passed through the security scanner at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, the agent was"shocked," the TSA said on Tuesday. Lisa Farbstein, a public affairs officer for TSA, recounted the agent's unusual find in an anecdote posted to . It accompanied a photo of a dark suitcase that was not completely zipped shut. Peeking out from opening were orange hairs that, Farbstein explained, belonged to the pet that was ultimately discovered inside.
A cat was detected inside someone's checked bag as it passed through the security scanner at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a TSA spokesperson said."A @TSA officer was shocked to find an orange cat inside a checked bag at @JFKairport after it went through the X-ray unit," Farbstein wrote, adding that the traveler said the cat"belonged to someone else in his household." "On the bright side, the cat's out of the bag and safely back home," it said.
