According to a spokesperson from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the snakes were found concealed in the passenger’s pants, leading to immediate action by TSA officials. The incident was promptly reported to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Southeast and Miami-Dade Police for further assistance.
