I imagine it would be easy to smuggle a well behaved animal onboard anything. We have metal detectors, but they don't work on organisms. Reminds me of the organic guns hidden in the dog in the Cronenberg movie eXisTenz. It's kind of a funny story when you think about it. Cute monkey too.

Imagine the shame of all noisy kids on that flight, when its obvious most were told: "That monkey over there has better manners than you do!"

That's right...you all make your funny little jokes. What if that monkey had been carrying the dreaded Motaba virus?

Well then, I guess they'd have to call Dustin Hoff...er... I mean Al Pacino.

Of course, everyone else had something to hide.

Forgive me for resurecting a dead topic, but I wonder if we need to be harsher on animal importation. In the Uk you can't bring a dog in without I think a six month quarantine period and they have eliminated rabies. Eliminating it in the US would be much more difficult with the amount of wild cases, but still it's a thought.

Since this incident, TSA has started making people either remove headgear for inspection or allow agents to pat down their hats. Sikhs and other groups who wear turbans have been offended by this, and have said that it represents....drumroll...wait for it....racial profiling, natch.
