CAIRO: An Egyptian woman pretending to suffer from labor pains gave such a poor performance at customs that a quick hand-search revealed her bundle of joy to be 48 mobile phones, an airport source said. The young woman, whose identity was not released, began to complain of labor pains after arriving at Cairo airport from Dubai, hoping to speed her way through customs. A customs officer checked her passport and was surprised by the number of stamps it held, showing too much recent travel for a woman in her condition, the source said. So he asked a female colleague to frisk her.
The search exposed what was really under the woman s clothing – 48 mobile phones worth more than $17,000.
The mother was arrested.
