From the Saudi Gazette:
Two illegal Yemeni immigrants, disguised as women, were arrested at a checkpoint near Asir. Lt. Col. Abdullah Bin Ayidh Al-Qarni, spokesperson for the Asir Region Police said the vehicle was stopped at an Al-Majaridah checkpoint with the two ‘women’ as well their driver. The third unidentified man said the two women in his car were his wife and sister. Police discovered that the ‘women’ were in fact men and arrested the three.

maybe they were following the example of Ehud Barak?

This reminds me of an old movie called Fuzz. In it, Burt Reynolds, playing a detective, went undercover as a woman in order to catch a rapist–without shaving off his mustache.
Wait a second….I think I went on a date with the one on the left….
AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!
(That’s the last time I get drunk at the Jerusalem Winter Ball.)
Ehud Barak in drag…now there’s a horrible thought right there.
That was hilarious until your last comment. You see, that’s just plane racist. Sad.
Elder is not racist, the joke just fell flat.
Personally, I feel for Saudi women, with their restricted rights.
Dave’s right on both counts. I’ve blogged about the problems of Saudi women countless times. If Dave wants, he can feel free to delete the last phrase.
Done.
Wait a minute! Am I imagining things or does the guy on the right have a mustache? I mean, it’s stupid enough to try to pass as a woman, but with a mustache? Maybe she(he) was trying to pass it off as a severe lip hair problem.
