H ave you ever thought about the risks you take when you travel ? We have all heard horror stories of missed flights , lost luggage , train delays and traffic jams but have you ever heard about snakes ? No ? Well , here's a story that will make you think twice the next time you fly . It all started one day when a passenger boarded a flight in South Korea with a little ' something ' extra in his luggage . However , he didn't declare what this something extra was when he left South Korea . When he arrived in Atlanta , USA , customs officer Christopher Hendericks checked the man's luggage . To his surprise he found 30 snakes in bottles ! He also found some bird specimens in the bottles , and a special liquid with the snakes and birds to preserve them . Hendericks said , " I've found snakes before but what surprised me about this case was how many there were . At least no passengers were hurt . " Even though the reptiles and birds were not alive , there was still a problem . As the US Fish and Wildlife Service stated , " It's possible that the dead snakes had poison in them . The passenger even put scorpions in the snakes ' mouths . So , we had to check all the animal specimens in the bottles . " The airline did not release the name of the passenger . The police charged the man with breaking the law twice , once for not declaring the strange contents of his luggage and once for importing endangered species .сократить текст по смыслу чтоб был​
