Someone Tried to Sneak a Gun Past the TSA by Stuffing It in a Raw Chicken
This isn't the kind of stuffing you normally see in November . . .
The TSA tweeted out pictures after a woman flying from Fort Lauderdale to Haiti got caught at the airport . . . trying to smuggle a GUN through security by stuffing it inside an uncooked chicken. (???)
They haven't released X-rays of it, which are probably hilarious. But they did post four shots of the gun is removed from the bird.
The TSA had some fun with the wording in their post. They called it a "personal FOWL", spelled F-O-W-L . . . said it was a huge "BASTE of time" . . . and told other people not to "WING it" when traveling with firearms.

The woman did NOT make her flight. They brought in Customs and Border Protection to deal with her, so it sounds like she'll be facing charges.
Being caught with a gun by the TSA also comes with a $1,500 fine, or $3,000 if it was loaded. For repeat offenders, it's up to $14,000.
To be clear, you ARE allowed to bring a whole, uncooked chicken or turkey in your carry-on. So if you want to haul one across the country for Thanksgiving, go for it. Just don't leave any firearms inside.
The TSA posted a link on how to travel with guns in your checked luggage, and how to declare them. You can't have them in your carry-on though, for obvious reasons.
