Overzealous Customs Officers arrests Pax carrying a 'pressure cooker'

A pressure cooker is not for simple cooking alone - it's a terrible terror weapon. Just a month ago, pressure cookers packed with explosives killed three people and injured nearly three hundred at the Boston Marathon. Since then, the US Customs sees red in every pressure cooker. Last week, they arrested a Saudi passenger at Detroit airport for carrying the dangerous pressure cooker. He said the cooker was for his nephew studying in a University in Ohio. FBI sleuths have questioned the student and the uncle is in jail - all for a pressure cooker!
