The lobster was over 20 pounds. Look at the sea creature compared to the inspecting agent. It's bigger than his torso!
TSA spokesman Michael McCarthy told Associated Press that it was the largest lobster he had ever seen.
"The lobster was in a cooler and 'cooperated quite nicely with the screening process,'" said McCarthy.
Lobsters are allowed to travel as long as they're stored in a cooler. After being inspected, the compliant crustacean went back into his container and was allowed through airport security to board his flight.
Safe travels, lobster friend.
