Needless To Say, Not A Huge Fan Of The Guy Who Smuggled A Python Onto A Plane

Miami: A man tried to bring a python onto a plane in Miami by hiding it inside a hard drive, according to a news report. He and the snake did not make the flight that was headed to Barbados, authorities said.

Sari Koshetz, a spokeswoman for the TSA, told the newspaper that a bomb expert then examined the bag and found the python - still alive - in the hard drive.

Jesus Christ. What can I say here that hasn’t been said? If you bring a snake on a plane, you should go to prison for life. You should sit in a prison cell and have to watch reptiles eat your children on the other side of a two way mirror for the rest of your life. Florida’s out of control.  What’s the best case scenario here? You bring Barbados another snake?  Planes are bad. Snakes are bad. Planes on snakes are bad. 

So now I’ve done a little research and I’m torn. Turns out Barbados doesn’t have really any snakes because mongooses have killed them all. Mongooses have just pwned all of the snakes, and this is Barbados, so we're talking bigger than your average snake. Now, I don’t know the capabilities of a mongoose against a python, but if this guy was bringing a snake to meet its death in Barbados, then who am I to criticize him? Get that fucking thing out of Florida STAT. I'm not going to be picky about how the snakes are murdered, because that would make me a monster. I'm just going to insist that the snakes get murdered, because that makes me a nice guy.
