Security officers at a South Florida airport have reported finding a handgun hidden inside a raw chicken packed in a traveler’s luggage.
The Transportation Security Administration posted photos of the gun and poultry Monday on its official Instagram account. The weapon was recovered at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The post didn’t identify the traveler who was transporting the weapon or whether any arrests were made.
According to the TSA, fresh meat, seafood and other non-liquid food items are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags, as long as they are packed in ice. Unloaded firearms are allowed to be transported in checked bags, but they must be declared at the ticket counter and packed in a locked hard-sided container.

Wow! which stuffing brand is using hand guns as stuffing instead of cranberries & breadcrumbs, that could be very dangerous if some one tries to eat it. Read the label carfully next time you by stuffing. Or better yet make ur own and this stuff(ing) wouldn’t han(d gun)ppen.
