(Reuters) - Greek police charged two U.S. tourists with desecrating the dead on Thursday after they found six human skulls in their hand luggage at Athens international airport, a police official said.

"The skulls were found in a scanner check during a stop-over in Athens on their way back to the United States," said a police official who requested anonymity. "The coroner confirmed they were human skulls."

And then there's the amputated feet still in their shoes that have been washing up on west coast beaches in the US for a few years. Is there more than a metaphoric connection here?
