A passenger at Miami International Airport brought another man, shrink-wrapped in green plastic, to the check-in counters for South American airline LATAM. The assisting passenger carefully lifted and placed the wrapped individual on a baggage scale. Later, the man in green plastic hopped away from the check-in area.
It is common for passengers traveling to South America to plastic wrap their luggage. Wrapping services are sold in check-in halls at many airports, though these services are exclusively for luggage and not people. However, checked bags are cheaper than a second ticket.
The wrapped man's companion eventually dismantled the green plastic prior to proceeding through security, surrounded by local police.
