The police said Judge Reinhold had refused to go through screening. He then resisted a pat-down by the airport security.

However, Judge Reinhold’s lawyer questioned the claim.

Judge Reinhold co-starred in such 1980s movies as Beverly Hills Cop and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

If found guilty, the actor could pay up to a $500 fine.

Judge Reinhold’s attorney said the actor had successfully passed the TSA scanner and was stopped only after his bag raised an alarm, the Dallas Morning News reports.

The attorney added that Judge Reinhold did not understand why he needed to be searched after he had gone through the scanner without incident.

Pierce Brosnan has been stopped by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents at the Burlington International Airport in Vermont for trying to board a flight carrying a knife.

The local police department said Pierce Brosnan, 62, was allowed to continue his journey after the issue was resolved.

The James Bond actor was reportedly embarrassed and angry when the knife was taken away by agents.

TSA rules state that sharp objects such as knives, box cutters and scissors longer than 4in must be stored in checked baggage.

Lieutenant Shawn Burke, from the Burlington Police Department, said airport authorities told him about Pierce Brosnan’s encounter with TSA officials.

He said the actor “was encountered by TSA at one of their checkpoints” and was allowed to continue his journey after the issue was resolved.

Seven snakes and three tortoises were packed in women’s pantyhose and found in the man’s pants

A man was arrested in Florida last week at the Miami Airport after he tried to smuggle 10 reptiles on a flight by carrying the animals in his pants.

Seven snakes and three tortoises were packed in women’s pantyhose and found in the man’s pants as he waited to board a flight to Brazil.

 

The man, who was not named, was arrested by U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife officers and charged with “harbouring animals in an unnatural habitat”, according to the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Blog.

TSA used specific imaging technology, which allows agents to find potential threats when they found the animals.

The reptiles’ incident came few days after a similar one happened in California, when a woman tried to board a flight to China with endangered birds strapped to her body.

Transportation Security Administration officers found one of the bright yellow birds taped to the woman’s chest and another was taped to her leg as she tried to get onto a flight at Los Angeles Airport.

TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said unusual items are often found on passengers, but the agency was surprised by two creature-smuggling attempts in the same week.

Lisa Farbstein told the New York Daily News:

“All of our jaws dropped. It just goes to show the lengths that people will go to try to sneak something past officials.”
