How in the world did they find a SIM card on her? Would a metal detector pick up something that tiny?
It was in the open taped on her bomb belt.
Excellent search methods it appears. Some clothing pockets have holes in them, which would present an avenue of hiding something if the garment was not removed and thoroughly searched. I've put change in an old coat pocket that had a hole in it and found when short on money, it was a mini-savings account with loose coins. The possibilities of using the burka to hide something are NOT minimal.
