RE: Am I married to a terrorist?

 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!:-)

I must say it does not surprise me that she was barred. In fact I'm 
surprised she wasn't arrested on the spot.  From your description, it 
appears to be a particularly sinister pair of scissors.

Regards, Ray.

You show great dexterity in language, Ray.
