(Trends Wide) — It’s been a week of strange finds for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA): a six-pack of nunchucks and other sharp objects, and now, a dog in a backpack.
This week “a dog was accidentally sent through the X-rays” at the Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin, the TSA said. on your verified Twitter account of the Great Lakes region on Tuesday afternoon.
Animals must be removed from transport cases and the empty transporter must go through the screening machine, the TSA said.
“When traveling with any animal, notify your airline and know their rules,” the agency said in its tweet.
