Bust-ed!

A Florida traveler was caught trying to smuggle two turtles through airport security by hiding them in her bra — prompting authorities to beg fliers not to stash things in “weird places.”

The woman, who was not identified, was stopped at a Miami International Airport checkpoint with the reptiles wrapped in gauze and plastic, according to photos shared by the Transportation Security Administration on Facebook on Thursday.

One of the turtles tragically died, but the surviving one was handed over to the Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife, officials said.

“Friends, please – and we cannot emphasize this enough – stop hiding animals in weird places on your body and then trying to sneak them through airport security,” the TSA wrote in the social-media post.

“No, really,” it said.

“A Florida woman traveling out of Miami International Airport (MIA) recently attempted to take a pair of turtles through our checkpoint, and the turtles were stuffed inside… yes, you guessed it… her brassiere.

“We want you to be able to travel with your pets, and you turtle-ly can, but please travel with them safely. You can start by reaching out to your airline for their rules concerning pets on board flights. As far as TSA screening goes, small pets are allowed through our checkpoint but must be removed from any carriers and carried through the checkpoint (notice we said “carried” and not “hidden underneath your clothing”).”

In March, a traveler at Newark Liberty International Airport also tried sneaking a turtle into his pants, the TSA said in a news release at the time.
