Security : Passport Contol Burka Style

I was arriving at cairo airport from Europe when like every one else I had to queue up in line waiting to go through the passport control...

In front of me was a man that looked like he was Saudi with his three wives totally covered with their "burkas" (a "burka" is a kind of bag usually made of black non see through material with only a mesh kind of net hole about 8cm2 to let the poor women see but not be seen) the husband was holding all the passports and I was curious to see how the immigration official was going to check their identities...

I mean I was wondering how will he know if the people in front of him are really the ones that are mentioned on the passports?

I waited and when it came to the Saudi man and the three "Ninjas" I nearly burst out laughing when he (the immigration official) actually looked at them in the face (which he could not see) and looked back down at the passport. He never actually saw their faces!!!

Question? If 20 million USD was on your head would you dress like a women?
