A traveler was trying to board a plane to Barbados when Flynn decided he should she was carrying. Inside, he found a nylon stocking that had been used to hide a baby python. Yep, a woman was trying to use an external hard drive to smuggle a snake onto a plane. A motherfu@*in snake onto a motherfu!@in plane.
