TSA allows bald eagles, in case you were wondering

Clark, a traveling ambassador bald eagle, is 'trained to spread his wings,' which came in handy for TSA airport screening.

The agency added: “Clark is trained to spread his wings, and even showed off a bit during screening.”

A Twitter account run by the sanctuary’s CEO shared the photos and video, and posted a photo of Clark in a hotel room ahead of his university visit, where he flew over the heads of a new class of students. The eagle, alas, does not fly American; he’s a Southwest customer. “On a case-by-case basis, Southwest Airlines works with reputable animal organizations, such as the World Bird Sanctuary, to make special exceptions to allow the animals to travel in-cabin,” spokeswoman Tiffany Valdez said in an email.
