'Clark' the eagle visited the travel hub on Monday, giving his wings a break and flying commercial on Southwest Airlines.
And yes, the bald-looking bird was screened like any upstanding passenger, spreading its wings for Transportation Security Administration agents. Video from Elijah Burke on Twitter shows the eagle perched on its handler’s hand at the checkpoint.
"TSA officers are used to seeing an eagle on their uniform as they look over their shoulder, but I’m sure the team at @CLTAirport Checkpoint A did a double take when they saw a real one earlier this week," TSA Southeast said in a tweet.According to the World Bird Sanctuary, Clark flies five to seven times a year.
Clark began flying at St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball games to the cheers of thousands of fans for the National Anthem. He has since flown for numerous high-profile events such as The Horatio Alger Association, the Chicago Bears and Boeing’s annual event.
