Funny or rather Insane things people tried to smuggle through airport security
420 pounds of cow’s brains
In 2012, officials in the Cairo airport seized more than 400 pounds of frozen cow brains that were brought in by three travelers from Sudan in large freezer boxes. While it seems like a strange thing to bring into another country, this smuggling move has happened multiple times, as Egyptians like to eat cow brains and the brains are inexpensive in Sudan. Officials destroyed this undeclared contraband.

A simple X-ray machine thwarted one Thai woman’s attempt to smuggle a baby tiger into Iran in 2010. Inside the woman’s bag was a sedated two-month-old tiger — wedged next to a stuffed version of a tiger. The X-ray machine at the Bangkok airport detected the animal’s heartbeat. The woman denied any knowledge of the tiger.

Human skull — complete with hair, teeth and skin
Back in 2006, a woman traveling from Haiti to Miami tried to bring a dirty human skull — complete with teeth, hair and skin — through airport customs, only to be busted, as you’re not allowed to bring human remains without a death certificate (and a reason — like it’s for educational purposes) into the country. The head is thought to be from an African-American man who had died within the year. When questioned, the woman, then 30, told customs officials that she had purchased the skull from a main in Haiti and planned to use the skull to practice voodoo.

51 live tropical fish living in a specially designed apron
Her outfit looked a little fishy. In 2005, a woman was stopped in the Melbourne airport after officials heard “flipping noises” coming from her body. Turns out, she was wearing a specially designed apron-like garment that held 15 containers within which were 51 tropical fish.
