He said the agents stopped the women to give them advice and guidance after they noticed they were wearing makeup

Yeah, guidance with a great big stick. I remember seeing these Mutawah around when I was in Saudi. They patrolled in pairs, carrying billy clubs. You wanted no part of them, I assure you.

I spent many months in the Kingdom while I was in the Air Force. I have many stories regarding these little thugs. I managed to stay out of their way but I suspect they are even less tolerant now than when I was there.

I remember red/white suburbans, switches and billy clubs. I also remember a Bedouin in the southern fields of SA. He explained that the live Mutawah were in the cities and the dead ones were in the desert.
