Actual Snake on a Plane

Reptile hidden in a takeout box

How Halloween-appropriate. Passengers on an EasyJet flight from Israel to England were confronted with an actual snake on a plane after a passenger had sneaked it past security in a “small takeaway box.” Travelers only realized mid-way through the flight and quickly tweeted the news as soon as they landed: “No Samuel L, but an actual snake on a plane. Police about to meet @easyjet arriving from Tel Aviv to Luton,” wrote one passenger. The eccentric man who brought the serpent was arrested upon arrival. A spokesman for the budget British airline has emphasized that “the non-poisonous snake remained in its container at all times and passengers were not in any danger.” Samuel L. Jackson, meanwhile, was nowhere to be seen.
