Old school Twitterer straps 14 birds to legs

Los Angeles International Airport inspectors either intercepted the worlds biggest Twitter addict – or they caught a rare bird smuggler. I’m not quite sure how this person kept the birds all quiet during the flight into the United States. Surely someone on the plane noticed that his pants were a little “aflutter”. According the story in National Geographic these legs belong to Sony Dong and the bird poop on his socks caused Inspectors to look more closely at him as he passed through immigration and customs. Apparently it didn’t help that the last time he was in the United States he abandoned 18 rare birds in a suitcase causing his name to be redflagged to ensure closer scrutiny upon future arrivals.
