Snakes on a Plane, Almost

Someone got caught in southeast Asia trying to smuggle in a bunch of reptiles (poor things, even though some are snakes). I guess the smuggler had never heard of X-Ray technology which allows airport screeners to see the insides of luggage from a TV screen [INSERT *DUH* HERE]

Well, glad he got caught, I hear Thailand’s prisons are spectacular this time of year.
