He was not well endowed so the snakes were not noticed?

Depends on where the pockets were I guess. They usually don't put pocket "there" do they?

When I came back from Peru, I brought a whole mess of tropical fish. Some were bagged & boxed in the cargo hold, others were in Igloo coolers with battery operated air pumps that went into overhead bins. Getting the CITES permit was ridiculously easy. And nobody at any airport knew enough about fish to know what to do with the paperwork. I could've been smuggling a mermaid for all they knew.

You have to be really careful, they can open doors now too:

Probably not illegal to smuggle a unicorn either.

I had a snake who knew how to throw a ball (no joke). She was a gopher snake.
