Croc Update (Crocs on a Plane Edition)

The Detroit News: "CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- It was very nearly a real-life version of 'Snakes on a Plane.' A man was stopped at Cairo's airport just moments before he boarded a Saudi Arabia-bound plane with carry-on bags filled with live snakes, as well as a few baby crocodiles and chameleons.

Security officials became suspicious of the 22-year-old Saudi man's bags when the X-ray machine at the departure gate gave odd readings. Police said they opened the bags and found a large number of reptiles, including at least one cobra, squirming to escape."
