A strange bloke was caught trying to smuggle a gun onto a plane in his hand luggage by shoving it up the bum of a raw chicken.
The very odd situation was discovered by the Transportation Security Administration at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida yesterday (November 7).
The man was found to have shoved the gun-stuffed-chicken in his hand luggage, and then wrapped that inside a thin brown paper packet.

The flight the odd man was trying to get one was not disclosed by officials, but his fowl play (sorry) was detailed in a pun-laden Instagram post by TSA.
They said: “There's a personal fowl here…
“The plot chickens as we barrel our way closer to Thanksgiving.
“For us, it's a time to be thankful that our officers are always working around the cluck to keep you safe.
“Take for instance this 'hen you believe it?' find at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
“We hate to beak it to you here, but stuffing a firearm in your holiday bird for travel is just a baste of time.
“This idea wasn't even half-baked; it was raw, greasy, and obviously unsupervised.

“The only roast happening here is this poor packing choice!
“Feather you like it or not, there are rules for travelling with guns and ammunition.”
For the avoidance of doubt, the genuinely was the TSA's official statement and we at the Daily Star have not changed a single word of it.
The Instagram post, which was posted to more than 1.1 million TSA followers, quickly went viral, amassing around 28,000 likes in just 24 hours.
No word has been given on what happened to the potential passenger who tried to hide the gun, but it's probably safe to say that he was not given the firearm – or the chicken – back after it was discovered.
