On May 6th, Raquel Maria Dillon (for the Assoc. Press), had an article about an exotic bird smuggler who is also a nit-wit. I will quote the article (with the CliffsNotes version in bold):
A man was charged Tuesday with smuggling songbirds into the United States by hiding more than a dozen of them in an elaborate, custom-tailored pair of leggings during a flight from Vietnam to Los Angeles.
Sony Dong, 46, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in March after an inspector spotted bird feathers and droppings on his socks and tail feathers peeking out from under his pants, prosecutors said.
He had fashioned these special cloth devices to hold the birds," said U.S. attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek. "They were secured by cloth wrappings and attached to his calves with buttons."
This is a smuggler who does not plan well, and also, he apparently did not look in the mirror before he went out. I can think of better ideas. Here is one option:
PLUS 
With some slight modifications, one (1) Orvis vest + one (1) oversized 80's-style sweatshirt = successful smuggling sans leggings. I win.

Good sartorial advice. The other take-away lesson is to keep your tail feathers tucked in and bring a change of socks.
