If you think what some people carry on is weird, don't look in their checked bags.

I think the strangest think I ever discovered was a stuffed rat. Yep, a real rat a la taxidermy. The passenger told me the explanation after I discovered it on a full bag open search (back in the days where the bags were screened while the passenger waited.) Their large family rents a beach house on the Outer Banks of NC each year. It is their running gag that the rat has to be stowed in another family member's bag without their knowledge and whomever gets stuck with the rat has to host the next big family event (or something like that.)

People carry all kinds of strange things with them when the travel.
