We all know the queues at airports can be long and tedious but they seem to have got the best of this poor man.

Staff at Atlanta International Airport posted this picture to their Instagram on Sunday after an unusual passenger turned up at the X-ray machine.

Dressed in beige overalls, this decaying body is actually a prop from the film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. One website, Esquire, speculated the prop was for the next film in the franchise, Leatherface. The corpse was loaded onto the X-ray machine and sent on his "jolly way".
