According to the Guardian, the suspect, Noor Mahmoodr, was charged with "possessing endangered wildlife and smuggling endangered wildlife." The animals were reportedly drugged at the time, and received immediate veterinary care after Mahmoodr was caught.

If you are be prepared for TSA’s new enhanced security measures for the flying public designed to keep you safe, happy, smiling and DYING for more!

I guess it depends on who you ask if this will really work or not. I’ve seen and heard all the horror stories of Grandma being “handled” at the security checkpoint or the recent picture of a small boy standing there submiting to the search with his shirt off looking like he’s being arrested. Is it really necessary to do that, is that kid really planning to blow up the plane you are on? I would think his mind was more on the type and amount of Christmas gifts he’s looking forward to.
