View Full Version : Passenger Smuggles Monkey Onto Plane Under Hat
A man smuggled a monkey onto an airplane, stashing the fist-size primate under his hat until passengers spotted it perched on his ponytail, an airline official in New York said.
On a flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to New York's LaGuardia airport, people around the man noticed that a marmoset - which normally lives in forest and eats fruit and insects - had emerged from underneath his hat, Spirit Airlines spoksewoman Alison Russell said. The man's journey had begun in Lima, Peru.

I don't quite think a monkey will set off the metal detector and that security guards check under hats, though they should...

How big was the hat anyways? I mean if it was a large hat, they might of check it out. If it was a normal hat, how could of it fit?

it said it was fist size so it might be able to fit under a larger basball cap

He probably wanted the monkey as a pet. Wonder what they'll do, send him to a zoo? Hopefully not

I am impressed the monkey stayed quiet for so long... Especially if this guy had also gotten a flight out of Lima.
I guess airport seurity is pretty lax these days... I went to Peru a couple of years ago, and flew out of Lima to go to Santiago, and the security in Lima was really strict!
Usually at the airport I'm made to take my hat off when going thru security so I'm surprised that he didn't have to.
Though that is pretty cool. I want to smuggle a monkey under my hat!!
