While screening luggage as it passed through the X-ray machine at the airport in Madison, Wisconsin, agents discovered a dog packed into what appeared to be a backpack small enough to fit in one of the security trays.
by TSA agents working security stations across the country, said the pet"was accidentally sent through" the machine in a message posted on Twitter. The passenger was unaware of screening protocol and did not alert the Transportation Security officers that the small dog — a dachshund/Chihuahua mix — was in a backpack-style carrier, a TSA spokesperson told CBS News.
A tweet from the TSA Great Lakes branch shared Tuesday included side-by-side images of the dog as it appeared on the airport security scanner, and the backpack where it was found.
