Before stepping through the security line, ensure you do not have any hazardous materials, weapons or large lizard pets.

Security at the Boulder Justice Center in Colorado discovered an iguana in a container during an X-ray security check on Friday, apparently just hanging out with its owner's cellphone.

The Boulder County Sheriff's office tweeted an image of the iguana stating that they only allow service animals in the Justice Center.

Mashable reached out to the sheriff's office and was told the security personnel who dealt with the iguana were off duty until Monday, so there are really no answers as to why the iguana was brought to the courthouse in the first place.

Frankly, we'd just love to know what the iguana was planning to testify.
