Just be glad your lobster wasn't one of these 12. 
Woman caught trying to smuggle lobsters into Australia under her skirt
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - There must have been something fishy about the way she walked. Customs officials said Monday they stopped a woman as she arrived Friday in Melbourne on a flight from Singapore, and found 12 live lobsters allegedly hidden in a specially designed apron under her skirt.
"During the search, customs officers became suspicious after hearing 'clicking' noises coming from the vicinity of her waist," the Australian Customs Service said in a press release. "An examination revealed 12 plastic water-filled bags holding lobsters allegedly concealed inside a purpose-built apron."
The species of lobsters were not immediately known, but customs officials warned they could carry diseases that could decimate Australian lobsters if they escaped into local waters.
Customs officers will charge the woman once they establish what species the lobsters are. If convicted of smuggling wildlife, she faces a fine of up to 110,000 Australian dollars - the equivalent of about $83,000 US-and could also get a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
