Passenger Who Explained That Bag Of 'Moose Poop' Nuggets Is For Politicians To TSA Security Is Peak 2019

Passenger Who Explained That Bag Of 'Moose Poop' Nuggets Is For Politicians To TSA Security Is Peak 2019

2019 has absolutely been a year filled with sh*tty politics.

But one unnamed hero has risen to the occasion to run with the poop pun in ways neither we—nor the TSA—imagined possible.


Back in April, Transportation Security Administration agents at the Juneau, Alaska airport stopped a passenger to further inspect his luggage. Their machines had detected a "large organic mass" in his carry-on.

Sometimes, according to agents, this can be a red flag for explosives made from fertilizers.

What they found when they checked his luggage wasn't exactly a bomb—but it certainly raised a stink.

They shared the story on their official social media accounts.

Their caption read:

"Mondays can really stink. After a weekend of relaxation, the first day back at work can be hard to deal with. Here's a nugget of wisdom to help get you through the day: 'Monday is the day where the slate from the previous week is wiped clean; It is a day of new beginnings'."
"Our team at Juneau International Airport (JNU) recently dealt with 'nuggets' of a different variety when examining a passenger's carry-on bag. Upon inspection, a large organic mass turned out to be a bag of moose nuggets (or feces, droppings, excrements, etc.) that the passenger was taking home from their Alaskan adventure."

However, turns out there are no TSA rules against poop in your carry-on!

"While TSA has no policies that would prevent you from traveling with a bag of animal poo, we would strongly suggest that you check with your airline on their policies. Several carriers do have rules in place to avoid smelly situations aboard their planes. Besides, having to leave your souvenirs behind would really stink."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hilariously, when questioned about the bag of poop the man said he had spent time collecting moose droppings as a gift of sorts. He shamelessly told TSA agents he intended to hand them out to politicians.

TSA often shares their unusual finds online, including compiling an annual list.

Wildlife experts will caution you to give the moose of Alaska some serious space.

The animals are large, and generally peaceful, but are quite capable of seriously injuring someone if they feel threatened. We have no idea how our unnamed hero collected his prized specimens, but we hope it was done with the comfort and safety of himself and the moose in mind.

TSA did advise that some airlines have rules in place about flying with some particularly pungent packages. You may not be able to fly the fecal skies.

Although dried moose nuggets lack odor and are sold in the state or Maine and Alaska as souvenirs.

Seriously.

We can't confirm the passenger was able to get their prized poop aboard, but we would like to think that maybe, just maybe, this incident is related.



Whoever you are, mystery political poop protester, we salute you.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
