Debbie Schlussel: "Snakes on a Plane" Update: Could Terrorists Do This?
Studio representatives sent me this link to the theme song from the upcoming thriller, "Snakes on a Plane," opening August 18th. As I've written, the movie is about mobsters who bring and release poisonous snakes on a plane to kill a witness in a trial.
The song is okay, the video less so. But watch the part where the criminals sneak their snakes through airport security in a carry-on briefcase and a guitar case. I doubt this could happen in real life. But, hey, they let an Arab Muslim on the plane with hollowed out shoes, bomb components, and a Koran--just last week, even though he lied to the TSA screener.
For our TSA and FAM readers in the know, would it be at all possible to sneak snakes on a plane this way or some other way? It seems highly implausible/impossible and hard to believe. But do tell.
