Iroc24 asked:

This is an exact question from one of my students. We are posting from class.

The book we are reading discusses how Sea Turtles “cry” to clear the salt from their eyes.
I will be allowing my students to pick the best answer Monday in class. Please keep them coming. Thank you!

Ok so I have two turtles in Europe and I want to bring them in USA this summer. Is a 14 hour trip and the turtles can survive without water (i had them 24 hours without water and are perfectly fine).
I want to know if I can bring them on a plane and IF i am allowed with them on a plane. And if not, can i put them in my pockets from my pants and go without a problem through the airline security?
