Today, when we [me + wife + 3 kids] went to watch the
Pseudo-Para Pan American Games, my wife was barred
at the door. She was hiding a WMD inside her purse, so hidden
that she herself wasn't aware of it. It was a very lethal
small left-handed scissors covered with rust and with a
no-longer sharp blade. In other words, a terrorist's weapon!

Alberto/Abdullah,
At that point, you had two options:
1. Have your wife claim it was a religious artifact that is integral with
practicing her religion.
2. Go to Wal-Mart, but a towel, make a turban and conceal that hideous
weapon inside, along with the four course meal that would fit in there. Of
course, being a turban, it would never be questioned or searched. Racial
profiling you know.

PS: My apologies to anyone that may have been offended by suggestion #2.
That's a little bit of a WTF attitude after watching Homeland Security
personnel at the airport search my 11 year old daughter and her 16 year old
half sister while allowing the 5 Muslim businessmen to pass through security
wearing turbans without as much as a second glance, and board the plane.
PSS: I must be tired this morning. When I made suggestion #2, I had this
silly picture in my head of the scene from Team America where the hero
infiltrates the Arab stronghold and fakes the local language. (hence the
quote included) I was picturing a soccer stadium with Alberto's wife having
that conversation with the security people ... Well, you get the picture :-)
PSSS: The quote put my spell checker into convulsions. Now I KNOW I'm
tired..I'm going back to bed!:-)
