SYDNEY (Feb. 3) - An Australian traveler was caught with two live pigeons stuffed in his pants following a trip to the Middle East, customs officials said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old man was searched after authorities discovered two eggs in a vitamin container in his luggage, said Richard Janeczko, national investigations manager for the Customs Service.
They found the pigeons wrapped in padded envelopes and held to each of the man's legs with a pair of tights, according to a statement released by the agency. Officials also seized seeds in his money belt and an undeclared eggplant.
The alleged bird smuggler, who arrived in Melbourne on Sunday on a flight from Dubai, was being questioned.
Australia has very strict quarantine regulations on the importation of wildlife, plants and food to protect health, agriculture and the environment of the isolated island nation.
Charges of wildlife smuggling â which carry a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a fine of 110,000 Australian dollars ($70,430) â could be brought against the man.
Janeczko said the pigeons were not endangered and that the case â as well as the birds, eggs and seeds â had been turned over to the Quarantine Service to assess the health risk associated with bringing the birds into the country.
The Quarantine Service would not comment on the continuing investigation.

I don't know what he was going to do with them. Breeding, sacrificing, fucking, converting...no idea.

I remember the days before 9\11 when I could put 3 dime bags of weed in my shoe and never even sweat it at the airport.

It was so relaxed it makes you wonder why the terrorists didnt think of 9\11 sooner.
My cousin used to put a big bag of weed under his hat and he never had to take it off in the airport.
