Title: Elusive story: 700 Snakes
Post by: Nick on May 25, 2007, 12:20:03 PM

I am sure I heard on the news this morning that a passenger en route from Cairo to Saudi Arabia had a bag containing 700 live snakes which he was trying to carry onto the flight.

Not sure if he was a snake dealer, film buff, nutter or inventive terrorist.

Has anyone else heard this or did I dream it?

I imagine it gave the airport security guy a shock when he opened the bag! eeek:

It was either a very big bag or they were very small snakes.

Another case of life imitating art.
Over the years Hollywood has much to answer for.
