TSA Agent Finds Stowaway Chihuahua In Checked Luggage

You’re packing to go away on a weekend business trip or a week long getaway and your dog or cat can’t stay out of your luggage.  They will stare you down as you pack away. They just want to go with you!

On March 3rd, 2015, an unnamed woman was flying to Los Angeles from Laguardia Airport in NYC had the shock of her life. Her 7 year old chihuahua set off the security alarms as it headed to the cargo hold of the plane. The Transportation Security Authority discovered that her chihuahua had burrowed itself into her luggage and the woman had no idea that it was there.  She was just as surprised as the TSA Agents were. The adorable chi didn’t make a peep as she headed to the airport and checked her bag.

There is a happy end to this potentially dangerous scenario. The woman called her husband who came to pick up their little stowaway.

This serves as a friendly reminder to everyone to make sure you check all your bags before sealing them up for their journey.  You never know who might be hidden inside!
