"During raids Thursday, Islamic police caught 18 women traveling on motorbikes who were wearing traditional headscarves but were also dressed in jeans. Each woman was given a long skirt and her pants were confiscated. They were released from police custody after giving their identities and receiving advice from Islamic preachers. "I am not wearing sexy outfits, but they caught me like a terrorist only because of my jeans," said Imma, a 40-year-old housewife who uses only one name. She argued that wearing jeans is more comfortable when she travels by motorbike." - bob

i mostly thought this phrase was funny/ridiculous "her pants were confiscated" - bob

Suspect is now pantsless -- repeat -- pantsless. - Gabe

The Tea Baggers just wish they had the power to detain.... - WarLord

Wow. *shakes head* I'm betting jeans are a whole lot safer in the case of a motorbike crash, too. Sheesh! - Ordinarybug Heather
