Homeland security folliesCrocodile smuggler disrupts Rafah crossing

We have heard about dirty bombs, chlorine bombs, and suicide bombs. It was not until today, however that we learned about a crocodile bomb. It seems that European border guards manning the crossing between Gaza and Egypt last week detained a “strangely fat” woman attempting to smuggle three of the nasty reptiles underneath her robes. Mayhem quickly ensued, with security guards rushing to assist in the inspection and nearby women panicking and screaming in fear. The crocodiles — which experts say were probably intended for sale on the exotic pet market — were apprehended and deported back to Egypt. The smuggler was arrested, but not before earning some respect from the European authorities. “Everybody was admiring a woman who is able to tie crocodiles to her body,” said a spokesman.
