I hope the .@TSA tune this person over to authorities for animal abuse and the cat handed over to a rescue shelter!! Horrible that you all are making insensitive jokes about mistreating a living being. But then, I guess that would be typical, right?— QueersInCrypto (@queersincrypto) November 22, 2022

Unless thst cat was in a proper pet carrier which I can’t read anywhere that it was those people should be jailed for animal cruelty! Don’t think they would find it so funny if it was a human child!— Mary Jane Fielden (@MaryJFielden) November 23, 2022

No way this was accidental. X-ray shows the poor cat was crammed into the top of the bag, barely able to fit in with the glass bottles. It is not “snuggled into clothes” as TSA suggests. Seems like intent was to do away with “someone else’s” annoying cat.— Janet Amos (@jajajanet) November 22, 2022
