In the imaginative spirit of this thread, one post touched on bringing a pet rattlesnake on board with all the attendant dangers. Having seen the hysteric reaction of Middle Eastern types to any kind of snake, maybe cockpits should have a dozen non-venomous bullsnakes crawling about a la Indiana Jones. They grow to about six feet long, hiss loudly in a compelling threat display and are colored like the local rattlesnakes. Keep them well fed (3-4 dozen rats every two weeks) and the cockpit floor will be nice and slippery. Keep the oxygen mask on to keep from gagging. Too bad the F/As will refuse to visit.
