Deer Walks Through Airport Security
'Scuse me, bro'...which gate is the flight to Salt Lick leaving out of??
OMAHA, Neb. - It had to look suspicious.
A deer walked through the revolving doors and made its way to the baggage claim area of Eppley Airfield around 7 a.m. CDT Wednesday.Kay Bammel, who has worked at an airport car rental counter for about 35 years, said the animal appeared scared and was making an awful noise.
"Some guy with his family just went over and tackled her around the neck and got her down," Bammel said. "Then they went and got some duct tape because she was kicking so bad."
Airport police then carried the deer out of the terminal and took her to the nearby Missouri River.
There always are concerns about deer getting on the runway, but police said they never thought they'd find one in the terminal.
Great; I practically get strip-searched every time I fly (maybe it's the goatee??), and this maroon just waltzes through security. I suppose the next time I have an urge to sneak a bomb onto a plane, I'll be doing it in Omaha....
