TSA Finds Stowaway Dog Packed Inside Owner`s Checked Luggage

Video: TSA Finds Stowaway Chihuahua Inside Checked Luggage

Has your dog ever jumped inside your suitcase while you’re packing for a trip? Maybe they’re thinking you can’t leave if you can’t pack. Or, they’re hoping you’ll bring them along. Either way, make sure they’re not in the suitcase when you zip it up and head for the airport.

One frazzled pet parent had to learn the hard way to double check her suitcase before zipping it up next time.

After checking her bags and heading off for the terminal, TSA agents at LaGuardia Airport in New York City were prompted to search a checked piece of luggage when their scanning equipment sounded the “unknown-contents alarm.”
