Woman tossed off plane for smuggling dog in bag

3/4/2013

You can't get a normal-size tube of toothpaste through airport security these days, but a woman flying from Tel Aviv to London managed to smuggle her dog in a carry-on bag through Ben-Gurion International Airport onto a British Airways flight. Alas, she and her pooch didn't make it to their destination. While the plane was on the runway awaiting takeoff, a nearby passenger alerted flight attendants to a squeak coming from beneath the woman's seat, where a teacup Yorkshire terrier was discovered in her purse. The woman and her tiny pet were chucked off the plane. But passengers were left wondering whether the airport's supposedly tough security is all bark and no bite. [Source]
