Ok, it's just an interesting world out there ... :D

HANOI (Reuters) - A small white mouse running around a Boeing 777 delayed a Vietnam Airlines flight to Tokyo for more than fours, newspapers reported Monday.
A passenger saw the mouse on the aircraft, which had arrived in Hanoi from the central city of Danang at 10 p.m. Saturday and was scheduled to continue to Japan.
"Technicians were sent to seek and kill the mouse on the Boeing and this task lasted for over four hours," according to one report in the online newspaper VietnamNet www.vnn.vn.
The report and others in state-run newspapers said the passengers went to a hotel and luggage was removed during the search for the mouse.

They suspect it came on board with a passenger and escaped ...

"pssst...Mom! MOM!!! Harvey's gone! He was in my pocket and now he's GONE!!! MOM!!!" :D :D
 
PETA should get involved. This is an outrage! That mouse has every right to be wherever he pleases. Animals have rights and should be treated accordingly! :mad:
 
"The mouse did not clear through proper security and screening." according to Tom Cat, director of airport security. "I hate them meeses to pieces." he added.

The mouse, who was not immediately identified, was eventually detained and subjected to a full body cavity search...within Mr. Cat's stomach.

Eeeesh, what a PITA. Rodents are a huge hassel for international transport. On a vessel, if they spot droppings, much less a rodent, it's quarantine and exterminator time.
 
"FAA Administrator Marion Blakely used recent events in Hanoi to bolster her push for user fees for General Aviation. 'If GA would pay its share, airline fares would drop precipitously, and we wouldn't have to worry about mice bypassing security and sneaking on board aircraft. They would pay their fare like everyone else!'"
