What’s in that Suitcase? Clothes, Books, Maggots?

What's In Your Bag?

Keep in mind when traveling, that people from all walks of life are sitting around you on those airplanes. After reading this CNN article , I’m no longer going to assume those who share the same airplane cabin and destination are packing their luggage similar to mine!

According to the article, a US Airways plane had to return to the gate when MAGGOTS were found on board. The maggots were traced back to a container of spoiled meat inside the overhead bin.

Maggots.

Last month, the Associated Press reported  security in Cairo Airport discovered a very large suitcase actually contained 8 live foxes and 50 chameleons.

Unclaimed Baggage Center finds interesting things as well. They reported to have found 50 vacuum packed frogs as well as a live rattlesnake. Unclaimed Baggage Center buys unclaimed airline luggage (bags that haven’t been picked up by owners after 90 days) and sells the contents of the bags at their store in Scottsboro, Alabama. (Online shopping is not an option)

However, you can visit their site to see other interesting things they have found: http://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/interestingstuff.html
