[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] When the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) inspected passengers at Tampa International Airport in Florida, it was surprised to see a woman with an oversized "rubber band" in her carry-on luggage on the X-ray machine. It is a 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) long python.

According to the "CNN" report, TSA stated that Tampa airport customs officers have never encountered such a thing. From the pictures of the X-ray machine, a red-tailed boa can be seen curled up in the corner of the suitcase, but the airline does not allow it in the carry-on. Boa constrictors are carried in luggage.

TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein pointed out that the incident occurred on December 15 last year. After communicating with the airline, the woman was still able to complete the journey, but the python could not be on the plane with her.
