Security staff at a New York City airport discovered an unusual item packed away inside some hold luggage that had been checked in for a flight.
Before the baggage was due to be loaded onto the aircraft at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a security guard discovered that a live cat was inside the case after it had passed through an airport X-ray machine.
The orange tabby had somehow managed to get inside the bag before arriving at the airport. It had passed through the airport, before it eventually got flagged up at security after an alarm was triggered at JFK’s checked baggage screening point.
