The Millennial Star

No Bibles allowed in Saudi Arabia

Take a look at this link from Saudi Arabian Airlines. I quote:

Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are also prohibited. These may include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols such as the Star of David, and others.

I know a number of LDS academics and businessmen, and probably military and government people, have traveled to Saudi Arabia recently. I’m wondering if they have had their scriptures confiscated upon entry. I travel worldwide and usually bring my scriptures (although these days I have been carrying my Treo and reading the scriptures on the small screen).

I’m wondering if Saudi authorities would look differently at personal scriptures with somebody’s name on them and a box full of Bibles, for example. Any input from our readers?
