Made a bit of an asp of himself.
At least they weren't ferrets.
Wearing those Jncos…
"smuggling"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man has been caught trying to smuggle more than 100 live snakes into mainland China by cramming them into his trousers, according to the country’s customs authority.
“Upon inspection, customs officers discovered that the pockets of the trousers the passenger was wearing were packed with six canvas drawstring bags and sealed with tape,” the statement said.
An accompanying video showed two border agents peering into transparent plastic bags filled with squirming red, pink and white snakes.
China is one of the world’s biggest animal trafficking hubs, but authorities have cracked down on the illicit trade in recent years.
The country’s biosecurity and disease control laws forbid people from bringing in non-native species without permission.
“Those who break the rules will be … held liable in accordance with the law,” the customs authority said, without specifying the man’s punishment.
The original article contains 213 words, the summary contains 139 words. Saved 35%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Just one one would have been funny. 104 is dumb. Like did he think they wouldn't notice.
