Indonesian airport authorities detain 2 men attempting to carry 40 pythons on a mother****ing plane

JAKARTA, Indonesia � Indonesian airport authorities say they have detained two men who attempted to carry 40 pythons on board a flight to Dubai.

Jakarta airport official Salahudin Rafi says the two Kuwaitis were about to enter the departure area Friday when X-rays showed their bags were filled with sedated snakes.

The men told investigators they planned to sell the pythons to collectors in the United Arab Emirates.

Rafi says the men are still being questioned. If charged with attempting to carry wild animals on board the Emirates plane, they could face up to seven years in jail and a fine of $32,000.

5. Perhaps they can share accommodations with the snakes when they wake up. (Sorry, that was mean.)
