TSA Finds Dog in Checked Luggage

It’s the bad joke your friend makes when you’re going on some sweet vacation somewhere special “I’ll just come in your luggage”. Everyone’s heard … everyone’s made it.

Anyways –a little Chihuahua actually pulled it off! One women had a bit of a close call this week when the Transportation Security Administration or TSA agents found the little dog stowed away in som checked luggage at New Yorks LaGuardia airport.

According to the TSA’s official Instagram page – what? Really a government agency announces big news like this on their Instagram? – The women had no idea that the dog was stowed away in her luggage while she was packing.

#TSATravelTips – Ay, #Chihuahua! It’s always important to double check your bags before traveling, especially to make sure your Chihuahua hasn’t stowed away inside one of them. That’s exactly what happened this week at #NewYork’s #LaGuardia (#LGA) Airport. While resolving a checked baggage alarm, an officer was shocked when he found a dog in the bag! Apparently, the dog climbed in while its owner was packing her suitcase. TSA worked with the airline to identify the owner, and the two were happily reunited. #DogsOfInstagram #TSAGoodCatch
