Why did the chicken go to the airport?


I'm glad that there is increased security at the airport. Sarah and Taylor will be leaving in a few days to fly to a beautiful vacation resort. It might take a little longer to go through the screening process, but it's worth the peace of mind to know you are safe. The TSA employees are being very weary as they screen bags. Just this past Tuesday, an entire airport was shut down when the TSA employee found a frozen chicken and a head-mounted mining light in someones bag. I guess the combination of the chicken and lamp looked just like a bomb. Sniffing police dogs were called to the scene to inspect the chicken. The did not find any bombs or drugs, but I'm sure the dogs were anxious to get a bite of the meat. The entire airport was evacuated while the chickens cavity was searched. The only thing that was stuffed in the chicken was some crawfish. There was nothing in the story that explained why someone had a frozen chicken or mining lamp in their bag.
