Spiders on a Plane

Some man was trying to make real life sequel to Snakes on a Plane -- a man was arrested this week for attempting to smuggle 1,000 live spiders onto an airplane in his carry-on luggage. (Warning! Ugly spider picture if you click that link!)

I'm fairly sure that being an airport security screener is already a pretty tough job as it is. You've got infrequent travelers who don't know basic stuff about getting through airport security quickly, people impatient because they're running late, people yelling at you for things that aren't up to you. I'm damn sure that's a job that doesn't need "risk of coming into contact with 1,000 live spiders" added to its list of occupational hazards. If I was the one looking on that x-ray screening monitor as those suitcases rolled through, I think I'd have jumped out of my seat screaming.

Hell, I'm not even sure I want to fly myself any time soon after hearing this story. Plane full of spiders and I'm turning into B.A. from The A-Team: "I ain't gettin' on no spider plane!"

Hey, 888 - you've been reported to Blogger as a spambot. It's easy enough to find porn on the internet without idiots like you. Go to hell, asshat.
