Crazy couple nabbed putting baby through airport scanner

7/9/2012

Airport-security workers at Sharjah International Airport in the United Arab Emirates were shocked Saturday when the figure of a 5-month-old baby tucked into a bag emerged on their X-ray screens as it rolled along the bag scanner. An Egyptian couple who had traveled the UAE without official documents for the baby boy had apparently tried to sneak him into the country in their carry-on bags, the Sun reports. Never mind the powerful radiation. "This machine is very dangerous for anyone, let alone a baby in a bag to pass through," police noted, saying charges will be filed against the parents for putting "the life of their child at risk." Poor kid.
