A distinguished professor was arrested yesterday at Bush Intercontinental
Airport in Houston, Texas while trying to board a flight with a calculator,
protractor, compass, and slide rule.  The security crew immediately searched
the elderly man when they saw him boarding with a calculator in his hand.
A search of his hand bag revealed the devices.  The man was charged with
carrying instruments of math instruction.

Further investigation has revealed he is a member of the Al-Gebra
terrorist network.
