Apparently it's completely cool to travel with a live lobster in your luggage...who knew!

TSA got an eyeful of lobster when screening luggage at Logan International Airport this morning.

A TSA officer took to Twitter after finding a live 20-pound lobster inside a man's suitcase.

The checked luggage was being routinely checked, when a not-so-routine image appeared on the screen.


Turns out traveling with live lobsters is completely legal as long as they are checked.

The TSA website says they are supposed to be "transported in a clear, plastic, spill proof container"...but it doesn't appear this one was.

No word on who's luggage it was found in or where the lobster might have been headed.
