Strange items checked in at flight time..
A car engine, a dead cow and bag of sand and sea water are among the strangest items that air passengers have tried to check in on flights.
I've actually seen someone try to checkin a Fridge.. What about you, have you got any crazy stories ?
One lady even turned up at a JFK airport check-in desk with family members carrying her bath. It wasn’t even wrapped or packaged.
Check-in staff at Virgin Atlantic were also presented with a giant wheel of cheese and a tarantula hidden in a lady’s coat, according to a survey by the airline from its 32 flying locations.
Other passengers tried to check-in a bag of cutlery stolen from a previous Virgin Atlantic flight at Delhi Airport.
For those who couldn’t quite let go of their holiday there was a a couple who fell in love on the island of Grenada and decided to try and check in a bag full of sand, sea and water as a memory from the island.
Telegraph

I saw last year a malaysian person carrying green bamboo sticks with round heads which are already available in several floral shops here in Doha..I dont know why he took so much of pain in packing them so so so carefully and in big box.....
Britexpat, Was that lady mentally ill. :)
It was not lemonade for sure,something else
By yellow I mean pure yellow color
Expired Lemonade?
I once saw a guy carrying a yellow colored liquid in his water bottle sipping again and again from it and sprinkling all over his head and his family members
After every sprinkle he looked refreshed( from his expression)
I don't know what it was but he smelled fugly
Kitchen sink?
/But that's what I didn't pack when I 1st arrived in Qatar 3 years ago...

I am traveling all the time with my coffin!
Once a man brought cabbages in his luggage to Qatar and caught for hashish in it.
I once carried a Harley fender on board...not out of my free will, mind you.
Many people do bring pork in Qatar in their luggage.
I saw a Kazakh man carrying live chicken in his suitcase.
britexpat maybe the guy was trying to carry the remains of his cow just as "taking chance", this is "taking cow"
At Riyadh Airport , I saw a lady stopped at customs because she had sheeps heads and chicken (dead) in her luggage :o(
Oh! the thing used to hit policemen on the head from a window.

What is kalchis?
Once coming from Mumbai.. I saw one lady carrying 3-4 big kalchis in hand as a hand baggage.god knows if she was permitted for it..becoz she was on the counter of American Airlines... :)
May be the cow was a pet. It died offshore. And the owner wanted to bring it back to the holy ghats of Benares to cremate it.
