Egyptian woman wearing veil tries to smuggle mobile phones

An Egyptian woman wearing a veil saw her attempt to smuggle mobile phones hidden in her voluminous clothing foiled by customs authorities at the Cairo International Airport, reports WebIndia.

"The woman, who was wearing a "niqab", a long loose cloak-like dress and a veil that covered her head and entire face except her eyes, attempted to bring 48 mobile phones that also included 48 chargers and 33 headsets into the country Saturday.

The woman agreed to pay the duties on the items rather than face legal proceedings."
