A woman that was trying to cross at the Gaza-Egypt border was stopped by officials because they stated that she looked unusually fat. A woman tied three crocidiles to her waist that were up to 20 inches long. Even with a long robe and a veil on the woman appeared to be up to something. A female guard searched her and discovered the croc's.
The woman was smuggling the wildlife across the border in order to sell them to a zoo. According to the article, these croc's would have brought in big money from the zoo.
I have heard of shoe bombers, box cutters, knife searches, drug smugglers, and bomb threats but I must admit that wildlife smuggling was never an immediate national crisis. I guess that it is good to regulate such activites in order to prevent the spreading of diseases from animal to animal and to protect the rights of the helpless animals that are the victims of the smuggling.
