Well, I feel safer now.

Prepping for England, and thus reading airport security regulations:

"A live lobster is allowed through security and must be transported in a clear, plastic, spill proof container. A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint. We recommend that you contact your airline to determine your airline's policy on traveling with your lobster before arriving at the airport."

I just. I mean, WTF?


ETA: Okay, but the TSA redeems themselves somewhat with this:

"Light Saber

Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist to create a real lightsaber. However, you can pack a toy lightsaber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the force be with you."

At least someone's got a sense of humor. And unlike the lobster, you can put it in checked baggage or carry-on.

Hmm, what's a better band name? Traveling With Your Lobster, or Live Lobsters With Lightsabers?
