CAIRO - Police have detained an American-Egyptian man who arrived in Cairo on a flight from New York with several weapons in his luggage, airport officials said Wednesday
The officials said the man was taken into custody as he tried to pass through customs with a metal box containing two 9 mm handguns, 250 bullets, several swords, daggers and knives.
The box had been checked and the contents were discovered during a routine inspection upon arrival on an Egypt Air flight from New York's JFK International Airport in Cairo, according to the officials. They said customs inspectors were then alerted and the man was detained.
He was only identified as a botany teacher.
A police official confirmed the man was questioned by agents of the powerful State Security Apparatus and the case had been turned over to prosecutors for further investigation.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to reporters.

Historical Podcast - Plague of Athens
The disease’s rapid spread at Athens was helped by the overcrowded conditions resulting from the entire population of the countryside living inside the walls of the city due to the war. The plague also broke out at other places in Greece but nowhere was it as severe as at Athens.
No one was spared from the disease. According to some estimates as much as a third of the population of Athens may have died from the plague. Social order suffered and Athens’ war effort was also affected as many of their soldiers fell sick and perished from the illness. After two years the plague lapsed for a bit before returning for one last deadly round in 426.

The Boy that kept on running (Storytelling)
There once was a boy who was known to have mind blowing speed. He was a great baseball player so one hot afternoon he stepped up to plate in the last inning his team 4 points from a win and he was the winning run bases loaded for him two out. And the pitcher started out firing blazing a fastball on the gun at 98mph then changed speeds throwing a curveball at 76mph! This kid was now down in the count 0-2 one more strike and the game would be over. But this pitcher was tired as well missing outside 3 times to run the ocunt full. It was a 3-2 count 2 outs bottom of the ninth and when the kid saw the pitch he swung hitting the ball directly down the right field line. This kid never stopped running from first .... to second .... to third. He by far had a triple but he wanted to push it he took the chance and went home halfway from home plate the shortstop got the ball threw it home all you could see was a cloud of dust. As the dust cleared the catcher was laid down on his back without the ball and the kid did it. He hit a inside the park Grand Slam! And this play was never seen again.

Weekend Post - Customs (Smoking)
Americans get very excited about the issue of smoking, and it is not a good idea to get Americans too excited about any particular issue. Smoking was highly acceptable a few decades ago, but now smokers are in a dwindling minority. Many states and local cities have laws limiting the public areas in which people may smoke, or mandating non-smoking areas in restaurants. Cigarette advertising has been banned from radio and television for many years. Many trains and airlines do not allow smoking at all. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include reconstituted tobacco and other additives. The cigarette is also known to give cancer and many other diseases.
