news.yahoo.com — It wasn't "Snakes on a Plane," but an Austrian Airlines jet made an unscheduled stop Friday after a passenger sneaked a hamster aboard and the rodent escaped. By midafternoon, a search of the aircraft still had not turned up any sign of the hamster, authorities said.

>scare us so all these oil company liberals can get more cash in their pockets from oil by raising oil prices once again.Liberals? I thought liberals were those tree huggin' hippies that had no money, jam opium up their butts and protest drilling in national parks.You're right! I smell a conspiracy! It sounds like their work to me too!

The airports already outlawed one whole form of matter (liquid). I hope this doesn't push them to outlaw either of the other two.....

If you're going to be late for your plane. Just call in a hamster threat. *Arab Voice* "I have released a hamster on Flight 227 out of JFK"

So they can't find a hamster but they want us to believe they could find weapons or a bomb?This is scary. Think about it.

I once considered sneaking hamsters on a plane. I was a student then and was flying home for my winter break. I couldn't find anyone to take care of my two hamsters, so I thought I should just take them with me. I don't remember if it just cost to much extra to take a pet on the plane, or if it just wasn't allowed. either way, I had concluded that if they were coming home with me, I'd have to sneak them on. I did a lot of thinking too, as far as how to pull it off. I couldn't just put them in my carry on, because they'd show up when the bag was X-rayed. I couldn't just carry them in my pocket in case I got randomly pulled aside and patted down. My best plan was to construct a bra with a compartment in each cup, on for each hamster. That way they'd be on my body, so no X-ray, and they'd be somewhere that they wouldn't be feeling if they had to pat me down. in the end I didn't end up doing it. I guess I found someone to take care of them back at school.
