A stunning, winged traveler turned heads at a North Carolina airport's security checkpoint this week. Clark, a 19-year-old bald eagle, traveled through Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said. Clark weighs about 7½ pounds and has a wingspan of just over 6 feet, his handler Daniel Cone, assistant director of World Bird Sanctuary, told USA TODAY. When traveling through the Charlotte airport's security checkpoint on Monday, TSA brought Clark into a separate lane – temporarily removing the eagle from its carrier for a screening away from the other passengers, TSA regional spokesperson Mark Howell told ABC News. "Our special guest was Clark the Eagle with the World Bird Sanctuary, who decided to give his wings a break and fly commercial," the TSA Southeast Twitter account, run by Howell, wrote. 📸: Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
