Tut tut... From BBC:
An Australian man has been arrested at Cairo airport after security staff found ancient Egyptian animal mummies in his luggage, reports say.
An airport official said the mummies of a cat and an ibis, a long-beaked bird, dated back to 300 BC.
He said another 19 figurines of ancient Egyptian gods were also found in the passenger's bags.
The man has been charged with smuggling antiquities, which can carry a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.
