NEW YORK - A man smuggled a monkey onto an airplane Tuesday, stashing the furry fist-size primate under his hat until passengers spotted it perched on his ponytail, an airline official said.
The monkey escapade began in Lima, Peru, late Monday, when the man boarded a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell. After landing Tuesday morning, the man waited several hours before catching a connecting flight to LaGuardia Airport.
During the flight, people around the man noticed that the marmoset, which normally lives in forests and eats fruit and insects, had emerged from underneath his hat, Russell said.
Just watch. Because this happened we can expect TSA to put out marmoset advisories. We'll hear more and more about the threat posed to freedom by marmosets and the general hype level will sky rocket. We will also now be forced to remove all hats and other head wear before entering the security screening area in airports. I just wonder, however, with marmosets not wearing shoes how TSA will harass them when they get to the metal detector and are ordered to remove their shoes?
