I read another thread about a gentleman being arrested at IAH for apparently carrying literature that likely clashed with a CBP's personal religious beliefs. I also just got off the phone with my better half who tells me that she just spoke with a friend who knows the owner of one of the largest Halal meat shops in Houston. Apparently, a couple of days ago, one of his butchers, returning from Pakistan was thrown in jail for arguing with some CBP pig who was making a huge deal about the set of meat cleavers and other butcher-type paraphernalia that was safely locked up in his checked baggage. Obviously, hearsay at this time as far as this forum is concerned, but I thought I would put this out there to stir the pot as it were, and to point out that there appears to be something not quite right in Houston (beyond the obvious, that is).
