The Story of a Tortoise Hidden in a Burger!
You've heard of people trying to sneak through various funny things through airport security checks. But this one is really going to make you laugh!
BEIJING, July 2013 (AFP/The Whiz Times).
A man tried to sneak in a tortoise hidden inside a KFC burger into a Chinese airport! Of course, the tortoise wasn't allowed to board the plane after it was discovered by security staff!
Security staff at Baiyun airport in the city of Guangzhou saw "suspicious corners" on X-ray images of a bag passing through security.

They asked the passenger, known only by his surname Li, to open the bag.
Mr Li first said there was "nothing but a burger" inside, but after questioning, said the KFC package contained a tortoise!
He said he came up with the trick because he wanted to travel with his "beloved tortoise".
But Mr Li had to leave the animal with a friend and fly to Beijing alone.
What a funny story! Please don't try to hide your pet in a burger the next time you travel by plane!
