Human Skulls Found in Airport Luggage

Yikes.  Greek officials have arrested two Americans for desecrating the dead after Athens airport security looked inside the tourists' luggage and found six skulls.  The tourists claimed that they thought they were "fake" and had bought them as souvenirs.  The trail is scheduled for later this year.

ATHENS (Reuters) – Greek police charged two U.S. tourists with desecrating the dead on Thursday after they found six human skulls in their hand luggage at Athens international airport, a police official said.

"The skulls were found in a scanner check during a stop-over in Athens on their way back to the United States," said a police official who requested anonymity. "The coroner confirmed they were human skulls."

The two young tourists said they had bought the skulls in a souvenir shop on the island of Mykonos and believed they were fake, the official said, adding they had been released pending trial.
