No, not a sequal Snakes on a Plane, these "Rats in an Airport" were non-fiction. At least 24 dead rats hidden in the littlest of nooks and crannies around Orlando International Airport made such a stankyness that airport officials were forced to shut down a customs checkpoint and reroute international arrivals to another concourse. An airport spokesperson is blaming the infestation, which nauseated customs inspectors, on recent airport construction that upset existing rodent habitats. The rodents were poisoned by exterminators during construction, however some of them managed to drag themselves into the little hiding places were they proceeded to die, then decompose and stink, in that order. Airport employees have managed to remove at least 24 of the dead critters, while it is suspected twice that many may still exist. Lovely.
