Security at crowded malls and supermarkets during peak business hours have always been a cause of major concern to authorities. Surveillance cameras and other hi-tech gadgets make no difference to determined thiefs on the prowl. And now adding to their woes are cross-dressers.

Imagine men dressed in burkhas robbing you off your valuables! Security officers are on their feet now, says a source at a hypermarket. Due to cultural sensitivity, even if victims raise an alarm, the suspects cannot be bodily searched, says another security personnel of a supermarket chain in Dubai.

\One of the London tube train bombers got out of country by borrowing his sisters burkha.  Secuirty staff at places where this may happen need to go to Body Language 101 classes.

Hmm...maybe they should consider hiring female security guards.  Dubai qualifies as a more liberal Islamic state-it's not out of the question.
