Passenger 'hid monkey under hat'
A man has been questioned by police at LaGuardia airport in New York after smuggling a monkey onto a flight from Florida by hiding it under his hat. Passengers spotted the animal when it climbed out and perched on the man's ponytail, Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell told reporters.
Ms Russell said the monkey - a marmoset - spent the remainder of the flight in the man's seat and was well-behaved. It is unclear whether the unnamed man will face any criminal charges.
The man's journey originated in Lima, Peru. Ms Russell said it was not known how the man avoided detection there, and during a several-hour stopover in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When passengers noticed the fist-sized primate on the flight, they asked the man "if he knew he had a monkey on him", Ms Russell said.

| It wouldn't be so cute if it turned out to be diseased. |

Sounds like it was better behaved then most of the passengers. Just proves what I have always thought ~ we need to let the animals roam free, and lock up the people........   |
