Airport security staff were left shocked after discovering a monster 20-pound live lobster hidden in a passenger’s luggage.

The huge shellfish was spied at Boston's Logan International Airport's Terminal C.
Security staff said the whopping lobster was the largest they had ever seen at the airport.
The US Transportation Security Administration does not explicitly forbid lobsters.
But regulations state live animals must be carried in a "clear, plastic, spill-proof container".
Spokesman Michael McCarthy said the lobster "co-operated quite nicely with the screening process".
He tweeted a photo of the enormous sea creature with its fearsome pincers bound by tape.
Mr McCarthy wrote: “TSA officers are skilled at screening all sorts of items in checked baggage...including this 20+ pound lobster.”

A twitter user whose husband just became a US citizen shared the mistake U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) made on the welcome letter given to new US citizens. In the welcome letter, the new citizens were congratulated by former US president Barack Obama's signature instead of current US president, Donald Trump's. She tweeted: "My British-born husband takes his oath of citizenship today. In the packet for new Americans, the welcome letter from POTUS is from Obama". According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, roughly 200 of these letters have been sent out due to an administration error. A total of 300,000 applications for citizenship have been approved since Trump's inauguration.  Consequently, USCIS press secretary Gillian Christensen has called the mistake an administrative oversight.
