A Pennsylvania man attempted to pass through outbound security at New Jersey's Newark Liberty international airport with a turtle concealed in his pants. The creature reportedly set off an alarm and was found in the man's "groin area" when Transportation Security Administration workers patted him down.

A Pennsylvania man was caught with a turtle hidden in his pants when the Transportation Security Administration body scanner triggered an alarm in the area of the man’s groin at Newark Liberty International Airport last week,

"As best as we can tell, the turtle was not harmed by the man’s actions," a TSA official said after a Pa. man hid the animal in his pants.
