Sent Packing
Charles D. McKinley, 25, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had four weeks of vacation coming, so he decided to visit his parents in DeSoto, Texas. Rather than buy a plane ticket for $320, McKinley, a shipping clerk, packed himself into a shipping crate and air-expressed himself home, charging the fees to his employer. When the crate was delivered to his parents' front step, McKinley pushed out of the box and shook hands with the "shaken and frightened" delivery driver. The driver called the police. After an investigation by the FBI, the U.S. attorney, postal inspectors, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration, McKinley was charged as a stowaway, a federal misdemeanor. (Dallas Morning News) ...If he had only waited for the driver to leave, he would have been home free.

Kinda sounds like one of those 'urban legends' to me. If he was packed properly, he couldn't have just POPPED out of the box when he was delivered.

Oh well, funny anyway.

DING DING DING

He would have to be firmly packed away. Plus, I can't go 4 hours without taking a leak. UPS takes 8-15 days on larger packages unless you go next day air, in which that case, most cargo holds aren't pressurized like a cabin is.

Hmmmmmm
