At Heathrow Airport today an individual, later
discovered to be a public school teacher, was
arrested trying to board a flight while in
possession of a compass, a protractor, and a
graphical calculator. Authorities believe she is
a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement. She
is being detained for carrying weapons of math
instruction.
