Lobster in Halifax

Before we had even left Canada, a sign in the Halifax Airport lobby informed us that "Yes! You can take lobster on the plane with you!"

Later, after I had passed through security, I was wandering around the notably deserted departures lounge area (not a busy airport, Halifax) and noticed an event happening outside. So I snapped a few pics. Those boxes that the ground crew is stuffing into the cockpit window are lobster boxes! This seems hopelessly ghetto to me.
