Weird news - Carrying a snake on a plane
How many of you would have seen the movie, 'Snakes on a plane' ? Well, it wasn't so good, but you can imagine the prospect of sitting in a completely closed tube, and suddenly a snake starts slithering around and you could be bitten at any minute. Sounds scary and weird right ? Well consider that it was just a mistake, that a passenger accidentally packed a snake into their bag, but it seems dangerous. In this case, the snake was non-venomous, but it could very well have been a deadly snake that managed to make its way into the bag. Equally dangerous was the fact that the plane was going to Hawaii, and snakes are very dangerous for Hawaii since snakes do not have any natural predators on the islands, and the snakes can cause havoc on the island. Fortunately, the snake was detected and caught (link to article):
A small snake managed to get a free trip to Hawaii - by hiding in a passenger's bag. According to the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture, the juvenile snake was found in slithering out of a traveller's bag after he showed up at his rental in Maui on Monday night. The man had apparently not realised that he was carrying a stowaway, until the owner of the rental spotted the serpent. The snake had presumably slithered into his luggage in Florida. Snakes are illegal in Hawaii. As they have no natural predators on the archipelago, they pose a serious threat to the wildlife and environment
