Rats! Orlando Airport battles infestation

by Christopher Elliott on March 20, 2008

At least two dozen rodents died in hidden nooks and crannies of a gate area at Orlando International Airport, creating a stench so foul it forced authorities to shut down a customs checkpoint last weekend and divert arriving international passengers to the opposite side of the airport, authorities told the Orlando Sentinel. The odor made passengers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors nauseous, said Special Agent Zachary Mann, an agency spokesman. He did not know the number of people who were affected.
