(* SO, WAIT… COULD A PASSENGER ACTUALLY BRING A SNAKE ON BOARD? We asked American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner, who says that only licensed exotic-animal dealers get the okay. Even then, they’re ”contained in special crates in cargo. They couldn’t get near the cabin.” Oh, we feel much ssssssssssafer now).
