when my brother was in college, he won a turkey in some kind of a contest. He had just enough freezer space to freeze it, which he did. Come Christmas time, he put the frozen turkey in a cardboard box with some packing material, rigged up a rope handle, and carried it on to an airplane on his way home for the holiday.

He'd figured, correctly as it turned out, that the bird would take longer to thaw than the trip home.

He says it was very amusing going through security (much more lax in those days, though they had x-ray machines). The bored rent-a-cop looked at the screen, perked up a bit, backed up the belt, called several buddies over, and they all had a good laugh.

The turkey cooked up wonderfully for Christmas dinner.
