Crustaceans reportedly aren't an uncommon sight at New England-area airports, but this one caught the attention of TSA workers as it weighed more than 20 pounds and was found in a cooler.
Lobsters are allowed on planes — even as a carry-on — but are required to be contained in clear, spill-proof containers, according to a report by CBS affiliate WBZ-TV.
