On cam: Bald eagle inside Charlotte Douglas International Airport

A bald eagle turned heads when it passed through TSA earlier this week at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, WCNC Charlotte reports.

According to the TSA, Clark the eagle was traveling with the World Bird Sanctuary.

TSA said Southwest Airlines notified them about his arrival, which allowed them to screen him and his handler. Officials said Clark is trained to spread his wings when going through TSA screenings, which is obvious when watching the video.

TSA officials said Clark was in a cage before and after he went through security.

According to the TSA, each airline decides whether it will allow an animal on board. What typically happens is if the airline decides to allow the animal onboard, the handler is expected to call the TSA and set up a special screening.

World Bird Sanctuary's website states Clark is one of only four bald eagles that travels to fly at different venues throughout the United States.

He has appeared at a St. Louis Cardinals’ baseball game and Boeing’s annual event.
