We Love Lucy and Other Precious Cargo

She was gently packed away in a hermetically sealed suitcase for her first class flight from Ethiopia to Houston, and hundreds of people helped prepare her arrival and departure at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Her name is Lucy, and she is the priceless artifact at the center of a world premiere exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Lucy also represents an example of the sort of high value cargo that is routinely handled by the Houston Airport System.
