Those poor anacondas didn't want none. Oh, and if you're smuggling snakes, maybe leave the machete at home?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Transportation Security Administration agents caught the unidentified man with a small bag in his pants with the small reptiles in it.

The bag was hidden in the passenger's clothing, officials said.

The post included a photo of two small snakes that were found in what appeared to be a sunglasses bag, the AP reported.

The snakes were turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

At the end of the week, TSA officers at JFK found a long machete from a man going through security.

Lesson learned: Don't bring a machete to an airport checkpoint," the TSA spokesperson said in a social media post.
