Flying is expensive these days. While you might look at the cost of a one-way ticket and do the unthinkable (ride on a Greyhound), this guy came up with a different solution: having himself shipped.

At the Miami airport, a man was observed wrapped in green plastic making his way to the check-in counter for Latam, which is a Latin American airline that mainly flies to countries in, well, Latin and South America. The dude apparently then tried to check himself in as luggage, a move that failed and promptly had him taken by police.

Is this really the reason you want to end up on the no-fly list?
