A distinguished professor was arrested yesterday at Bush 
Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas while trying to board 
a flight with a calculator, protractor, compass, and slide rule.  

The security crew immediately searched the elderly man when they 
saw him boarding with a calculator in his hand.

A search of his hand bag revealed the devices. 

The man was charged with carrying instruments of math instruction.

Further investigation has revealed he is a member of the Al-Gebra
terrorist network.
