A ‘Snakes on a Plane’ Sequel? [Horror IRL]

Snakes on a Plane

I have had it with these mother***ing snakes on this mother***ing plane! That, of course, is Samuel L. Jackson’s famous line from the slithering 2006 creature feature Snakes on a Plane. But, in the case of Miami International Airport’s TSA agents, those snakes never made it to the plane. Instead, they’ve probably had it with pants full of snakes. The euphemisms write themselves, don’t they?

The trouser snake terrors were confiscated in a camouflage bag before they could make it to the plane. Thank God for small miracles. The discovery is pretty icky, so anyone with even a touch of ophidiophobia probably won’t want to take a closer look at the pale monsters slithering around after the bag was uncinched.

Some Twitter users were rightfully horrified. While the comments were principally debating which Florida airport was the worst—and, from experience, let me just say they’re all equally awful—some users did start asking the right questions, including inquiring as to why TSA wasn’t using this as the golden opportunity for a Snakes on a Plane joke that it clearly was.

Anyway, add that to my list of fears while flying now. Strange as it sounds, I’d almost wish they were bigger snakes. I don’t trust the little ones. What are they plotting? Big snakes I could see. Little snakes? No, thank you. I’ll take the train, which also isn’t safe for anyone who’s seen 2006’s mockbuster Snakes on a Train!

How does the thought of a bag full of snakes almost making it onboard a flight make you feel? Would you go full-tilt Snakes on a Plane to get rid of them or opt to suffer in silence? Let me know either way over on Twitter @Chadiscollins, and consider streaming Snakes on a Plane. It’s available free right now through Tubi.
