Customs and Border Protection officials at Chicago O’Hare International Airport seized some very odd items from a passenger’s suitcase last week.<\/p>\n

In a post to X.com<\/a>, CBP said that a passenger from Congo brought in 11 lbs. of beans that were infested by pests, 17 lbs. of unknown plants and 4 lbs. of non-human primate meat.\u00a0 Pictures shared by the agency showed several mummified small primates that were taken from the luggage.<\/p>\n
