A passenger passing through a New Jersey airport was greeted by TSA and found to have a live turtle in his pants.

On Tuesday, March 11, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) revealed in a press release that the individual from Pennsylvania was caught with a turtle in his pants at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey on March 7. The discovery came after an alarm on a TSA body scanner was activated in the man’s groin area.

"As best as we can tell, the turtle was not harmed by the man’s actions," a TSA official said after a Pa. man hid the animal in his pants.
