The Scales of Justice
A man was stopped at the security checkpoint of the Boulder County (Colo.) Justice Center after the x-ray machine showed he was trying to smuggle in unusual contraband: an iguana. The sheriff’s office tweeted about the incident: “At the Justice Center only service animals are allowed. No iguanas...even if it goes through the X-ray machine.” Sheriff’s spokeswoman Carrie Haverfield says the man was turned away. “Unfortunately, it is not the first time someone tried to put an animal through the X-ray,” she said. “Sometimes people do put through strange things in there.” (MS/Boulder Daily Camera) ...Justice may be blind, but she’s got x-ray vision.Original Publication Date: 03 July 2016
