...well, not exactly...not yet anyway... In Egypt frightened authorities strip-search women and check for hymens...in America frightened authorities strip-search women and look for bombs....if it comforts you to know that "in America we are different"...okay. But it's a difference in degree, not kind.

Cairo (CNN) -- An Egyptian administrative court issued an order Tuesday banning virginity tests for female detainees, months after several women alleged they were subjected to such examinations following a March protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

...at least in Egypt the government can claim that the women DID something, i.e; they were arrested protesting. What did the 85 year-old American grandmother do wrong....book a flight?
