Boston: The Transportation Security Administration says a living lobster of about 20 pounds was discovered in a person’s luggage at Boston’s Logan International Airport.
TSA spokesman Michael McCarthy said Monday that the lobster found on Sunday in the passenger’s checked baggage at the airport’s C terminal is the “largest” he had seen.
McCarthy says the TSA does not ban the transportation of locusts. The TSA website says a live lobster is allowed through security, but it must be transported in a “transparent, plastic, leak-proof” container.
McCarthy says the lobster was in a refrigerator and “cooperated very well with the selection process.”
He shared an image of a TSA agent holding the crustacean in social media
