Here's the problem, though:

On what grounds would the police have stopped them?

Jaywalking?

On what grounds would the police have stopped them?

What were they arrested for at the bus station? Kidnapping?

That was my point---that the generic Bedouin type garb would make it even more unlikely that police would stop them for anything, including jaywalking. I'm sure if it had crossed any cop's mind, they could have been approached very politely and asked "Is this young lady Elizabeth Smart? Let's see her face."
