Import/Export hatching-eggs

Some people have said they have purchased eggs at shows and flown home with them on the plane. I can't imagine it working after the underwear bomber, but stranger things have happened. But I have bad luck with the TSA. I ALWAYS get pulled out of line and have extra precautions taken, like being patted down, having to remove the underwire from my bra, having to drink from my water bottle to prove it wasn't an incendiary device, etc. You can't believe the people who walk right on thru ahead of me until they spot me, the old lady most likely to bring down an airplane with a bottle of H2O!

Good luck!

Or the dreaded egg bomb!

What if one DID bring home nice hatching eggs from England on plane

from one's travels?

Would customs come after you AFTER the fact?

Chances are they wouldn't. However if you brought a new disease into the country I imagine you'd be in pretty big trouble... seeing it could lead to the slaughter of millions of chickens and decimate the entire chicken industry (including back yard flocks).

I'm not even sure you can get on a plane with raw eggs, they are liquids after all. And they'd have to be x-rayed too.

I am just thinking that the eggs would probably break in transit, and voila -- rotten egg smelling clothes!!
