Their abayahs would be perfect for concealed weapons.
Too bad there are FEMALE guards to frisk the women at so many of the border crossings. I remember that at the Israeli, Syrian, Egyptian, Jordanian ports of entry...women frisking ALL women tourists and visitors.
The record for being searched and frisked was THREE times before boarding the plane...and our hand luggage. NOT TOO MUCH slips by those security gates anymore. They always spot my artificial hips.
When?
