Doves frisked
FRISKING. Frisking or body-searching of mall-goers by security guards is normal. The reason is to make sure there are no concealed weapons in the possession of the persons being frisked. But in China the frisking is more extensive.
DOVES. Even doves, the symbol of peace, that are brought to official ceremonies as part of the affair, are frisked. A report from Beijing said some 10,000 doves, also known as pigeons, underwent unusual scrutiny during the Chinese National Day ceremonies. Their feathers were checked and even their anus got scrutinized for deadly weapons.
