MADISON, WISCONSIN: The Transportation Security Administration warned travelers to check their carry-on luggage for pets after a little puppy was inadvertently passed through the X-ray machine at Wisconsin's Dane County Regional Airport. This led the TSA officials at Great Lakes to sound a warning and request that travelers with an animal notify the airline to know the rules.

The TSA's Great Lakes division tweeted, "When traveling with any animal, notify your airline and know their rules. "At the checkpoint, remove your pet from the bag and send all items, including the empty carrier, to be screened in the machine." The X-ray image showed the small dog lying down in the rucksack, which was pictured in a grey security tray.
