Don't Give Them Any Ideas

THEY'RE ONLY BURKHAS, OFFICER! HONEST!

Detectives investigating a plot by Islamic terrorists to carry out a chemical weapons attack in Britain have found chemical warfare protection suits at a mosque in north London.

Careful, Tim! That's almost a plausible excuse. Ordinary burkhas are not well-suited for England's soggy climate, and a waterproof rubber burkha with galoshes attached would be (a) just the thing, and (b) more than half-way to an NBC suit.
