Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The year: 2010. The place: Bangkok International Airport, Thailand. A woman attempting to board a plane to Iran was found to be hiding the cub of which cat species in her suitcase?

Answer: Tiger

Customs became suspicious of the woman's extra-large suitcase and were shocked when they discovered, nestled among a pile of stuffed toys, a heavily-sedated two-month-old tiger cub. At first, the woman denied owning the bag, but later admitted she'd been planning to sell the cub as an exotic pet on the Iranian black market. Fortunately, the cub was sent to a wildlife park instead.

2. The place: Manchester Airport, UK. What did a teenage girl try to smuggle into the country by wearing it as a hat?

Answer: Chameleon

Believe it or not, this girl tried to smuggle her pet chameleon into Britain by pretending it was a hat! The trick might have worked, if only the lizard had kept still.

3. The place: Burlington, Vermont, USA. A woman was found to be carrying which of the following weapons in her luggage, disguised to look like a lipstick case?

Answer: Stun gun

On closer inspection, the woman's "lipstick" was revealed to be a 350,000-volt stun gun.

4. Customs officers at Fort Lauderdale International Airport once found a coral-covered cannonball in a man's bag.

Answer: True

The passenger was a diver who found the cannonball while exploring a shipwreck. Unfortunately, dozens of other flights were delayed because the cannonball was deemed to be an explosive device.

5. A German couple returning home from a holiday in South America were arrested at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. What was found in their suitcase?

Answer: Two hundred rare tarantulas

In addition to the tarantulas, the suitcase also contained a selection of crickets, grasshoppers and millipedes.

6. The place: Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California, USA. The year: 2002. A man was found to be concealing what in his underpants?

Answer: Two baby monkeys

In addition, the passenger's suitcase contained not only a rare bird but also fifty rare orchids. When customs asked if he was carrying anything else illegal, he admitted to having two baby Pygmy monkeys in his underpants.

7. A man once broke his leg and had a cast made completely from cocaine.

Answer: True

The place: El Prat Airport, Barcelona, Spain. A drug smuggler arriving on a flight from Santiago, Chile, was found to be wearing a leg cast made from eleven pounds of compressed cocaine. He also had additional cocaine in his luggage. It's unclear whether or not he broke his leg deliberately or by accident.

8. A woman travelling from Papua New Guinea to the Philippines was stopped at Ninoy Aquino International Airport after Customs made a shocking discovery. What was in her suitcase?

Answer: A baby

The mother didn't have the correct documentation for the two-month-old so she hid the baby in the suitcase.

9. A passenger at Buenos Aires International Airport, Argentina, South America, was found to have a total of how many venomous snakes hidden in his luggage?

Answer: 250

The snakes were packed inside bags, plastic containers and even socks.

10. A shipment from Thailand to JFK International Airport, New York, USA, was once found to contain two hundred and five pounds of which drug?

Answer: Opium

The drugs were found hidden inside porcelain cats and had an estimated value of $9,000,000.
