A Pennsylvania man was caught attempting to smuggle a live turtle in his pants at Newark Liberty International Airport after a Transportation

A Pennsylvania man attempted to pass through outbound security at New Jersey's Newark Liberty international airport with a turtle concealed in his pants. The creature reportedly set off an alarm and was found in the man's "groin area" when Transportation Security Administration workers patted him down.

Most of these cases involve travelers carrying harmless objects out of ignorance or negligence, but every once in a while, someone springs a surprise that baffles even the seen-it-all TSA workers. Something similar happened recently at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
