Mice...on a plane?

Its me, Zohar...with a bizzare story for you. I present the real-life sequel to Snakes On A Plane. XD

Hey Zohar,

That was a pretty interesting and in some respects, a funny story as well. Although I'm quite sure that some of the frightened passengers (especially those that had one of the small furballs fall on their heads) would not think so. It only goes to prove that where smuggling is concerned, where there's a will, there is a way...

Peace :D

Did the mice by any chance have legal passports? Perhaps they were escaping from evil rodent dictators. In any case, the mice should be welcomed into the country. We've probably got room for more cute rodents, and we could use some foreign influence. :wink:
Or maybe the mice were a new kind of bomb the terrorists are trying out. :shock:

Lol! This shows that reality is indeed stranger than fiction! I mean what are the odds of this happening?

...it was NIMH... ;)

That's not something I like to think about, but technically mice could be used as carriers for biological weapons. :?

Interesting and mildly funny article though. Guess the mice were more of a handful than the man had thought.. not to mention it shows that a lot of people panic at the unexpected. Personally I would've been laughing my tail off. :wink:

You know I wasn't serious, right? I doubt even the most imaginative terrorist would make mice explosive. Though they may try to infect them with a disease and set them loose in a city for biological warfare. But I doubt even that.
But one must wonder how they got in the briefcase anyway :?

That's what I meant by biological warfare. Mice can carry disease, likely why they detained the guy who had the mice in his carry on. Still bet that would've been a sight though. Bunch of passengers running around and climbing over each other over a bunch of little mice. XD

"I'm tired of these lililili mice on this lililili plane!"


Well there is a large group who are terrified of rodents so the terrorists could consider this a feat of terror.

I like mice, but there are some cases where even I don't think they'd be cute. This is one unusual example of such a case

Using rats/mice as weapons is plossible, after all that's how the Black Pluge was caused. The other thing is if you introduced a foreign spiecies it could cause hovoc on the local animals..
