Arrested by customs on King Fahd causeway
Saudi customs men on King Fahd causeway linking the Gulf Kingdom with neighbouring Bahrain, arrested a local man trying to smuggle liquor in his underwear.
The Saudi man was returning from Bahrain when he was stopped by the customs and ordered to step out of his car.
Customs men searching him found 14 bottles of liquor hidden under his dishdasha (grown) and tied around his body, according to 'Sabq' newspaper.
Alcohol is strictly banned in conservative Saudi Arabia, where liquor smugglers are punished with long jail terms.
That looked like me trying to sneak into a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, circa 1992.
Made sure all the tops were plastic to get by the metal detectors.
Reminds me of an old BONANZA episode in which some not too bright person tries to smuggle booze under a heavy coat, in the middle of summer.
If I remember, some guitar player with a high pitched voice causes the bottles to shatter.
I haven’t seen that episode in 50 years.
How inconspicuous.
I remember that episode on Bonanza.
Would have been OK if it was a bomb belt.
We need some of your brew over here.
Lol first thing I thought of when I read the title.
Yes, MM needs to whizz right on over.
That must have been one uncomfortable flight! And then to get caught when you were so close to being home free.
The surprise here is NOT that he was hiding liquor, but that a camel jock had underwear.
“shaken, not turd...”
Hillary found a “licker” in her underwear, more than once!

Driving, not flying.
We used to inject oranges with grain alcohol.
Downlow liquor.
LOL! Yeah, everyone in Saudi Arabia makes a sloshing sound when they walk...
I spent some time in Bahrain in the 80S. Every weekend the city of Manama would get overrun with these saudi hypocrites coming over to drink.
Well at least the little Johnnie walker has a grown dishdasha.
His method would not work for me cause he’s only got a day or two supply from my perspective. :)
