Most security officers working at major airports typically see the same sort of things on a daily basis, which means seeing something like a real bald eagle is probably very exciting. Passengers and security officers got to get up close and personal with the symbol of our country, a bald eagle named Clark.
Clark, who lives at the World Bird Sanctuary, put on quite the show for the officers, even spreading his wings. We’re sure those wings were happy to take a bit of a break and let someone else do the flying.
It's Corn!
The first thing that came to our minds when we saw this corn airplane was the ubiquitous corn song from "Recess Therapy." For those of you who aren't in the know, "Recess Therapy" is the sweetest, most wholesome web series in the world (in our humble opinion).
Featuring live interviews with playground kids between the ages of two and nine, one interview featuring a little kid named Tariq went viral when little Tariq, who was eating corn on the cob sang the corn's praise and was remixed into an actual song. Now everyone traveling through this Atlanta Airport will think of the adorable Tariq when looking at this corntastic airplane.
Lost Claws
While we’ve seen our fair share of interesting souvenirs, this one is pretty unique. This traveler wasn’t in a shellfish mood when they decided to bring a taste of New England to their friends and family by trying to put a massive lobster in their checked baggage.
Naturally, this spiny souvenir set off a few alarm bells for security officials. While lobsters are apparently allowed to travel, this person must have been in quite the pinch if they decided to simply throw this crustacean in and hope for the best. Hopefully, he was returned to the ocean.
A Cyborg?
Here are a few things that ran through our minds when we tried to figure out what kind of contraption this man has on his head: At first we thought it was some fancy new VR helmet. Next, our minds when the direction of a slide projector. After that, we thought about some reimagined version of a futuristic Mad Max on his way to Burning Man.
We could have kept speculating but then we went searching through the Reddit comments on this post and learned that apparently, it's some sort of an air filtration system. Just let the man breathe, will you?
The Traveler
This is definitely a double-take moment. All the passengers walking by this sleepy dude thought it was an actual man trying to get some rest. We thought the same thing and then we read the caption.
Found at an Orlando airport, this is actually an art installation called "The Traveler" that was created by a most talented artist named Duane Hanson which we will definitely hear more about in the future. Every single creative choice made here is just so spot on. From the sportswear to the luggage to the slightly beat-up sneakers, this work of art is a masterpiece.
