A Haitian woman who was found with a human skull in her luggage pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to illegally storing human remains. The human skull with teeth, hair and skin was found in Severe's checked luggage when she arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in February from Cap Haitien, Haiti. (source)

She was originally charged with smuggling a human head into the US without proper documentation, 'failing to declare the head' and 'transporting hazardous material in air commerce', but plead them out to the misdemeanor charge of imprudent storage of someone elses head.

So, remember, if you're smuggling human heads, hiding them in an article of checked luggage that will be X-rayed is not a good choice.
