“Don’t put animals through TSA scanners” seems like quite obvious travel etiquette.
Yet, Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein has reminded people to keep their small pets outside airport X-ray scanners, and not for the first time.
Farbstein recently tweeted about an incident where someone left their cat inside a carry-on bag, which was sent through an X-ray machine.
The incident took place at Norfolk International Airport and was, according to Farbstein, a “cat-astrophic mistake”.
“Just when you thought it was safe to bring your pet cat on a trip. . . A traveller left their pet cat in its travel carrying case at a @TSA checkpoint this morning at @NorfolkAirport,” she wrote.
