| Airhostess held boarding plane with pistol |
| 2007-08-14 |
| A flight attendant was arrested at the Jinnah International Airport on Monday as she tried to board a Gwadar-bound flight with a loaded pistol in her purse, an airport security official said. "Our security officials found a pistol loaded with four bullets on air hostess Irum Ara Shaikh during checking through scanning machines," the official, asking not to be named, told AFP. Police said she may have been carrying the pistol by mistake. "In preliminary investigations she told us that she had carried it a day earlier while outside in the city and forgot to return it to her father, who is a policeman," said Mohammad Ali, a local police official. PIA spokesman Nasir Jamal confirmed the incident, but did not give more details. "The matter is still under investigation," he told Reuters. |

| #5 Jammers....I meant Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) of course. I get all dyslexiated when I think about things such as that. |

| #4 WTF is FMG? Funny Male Glances? I think Besoeker meant FGM but we'll let him settle that. |

| #2 And don't cha just love how they (the Media) so easily spout off her name, while only citing "anonymous sources" on the police side of the story? |

| #1 My hat is off to that young lady! Quite effective method to defer FMG as well as the occasional purse snatcher I'd say. Have her bring me a fresh G&T, I'm in seat 3A. |
