Then She Screamed

Paulina Moussiesse of Sherman Oaks, CA had her baby pangolin confiscated by the feds at LAX after arriving from Paris. The animal was given to the LA Zoo. I wouldn't have mentioned this (despite the issue of "the government taketh, the government giveth") except for the wonderful comment in the article: "A security official at the gate for her Paris-to-LA flight [had] opened the basket and screamed, but the pangolin was allowed onboard ."
