Not sure if this is genuine but if it helps you or your friends I think it's worth distributing


I just received a warning from (name deleted)
He is warning you about a new regulation when Traveling to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Text from the Memo is as follow:

Please be advised, that all Airports in Saudi Arabia have a new rule regarding arriving overseas workers carrying electronic devices.
This has not been published to the public, but please advice all our workers who are travelling to K.S.A.
· All Electronic devices will be submitted for check up before immigration section.
· A special USB device will be inserted to the electronic device that you are carrying. This special device can scan all videos and pictures, jpg, bmp, avi, etc, contents of your laptop / cell phones and will be recorded to the main computer.
· All devices with nude pictures in it will be confiscated immediately. There will be no fines and refusal will send you to jail and deportation.
