The Pakistani Parliament took a leap of faith today as it sets into action a law which mandates a minimum 72 hour waiting period before anybody, man or woman, can buy a suicide vest. Pakistani Lawmaker Aruzzi Sharriff held a press conference in the back of a Jeep today;
"We recently became aware that some, not all, of these suicide vest devices were falling into the wrong hands, and after years of careful deliberation, we decided to put restrictions on them."
This ruling immediately came under scrutiny from local arms dealers. Rami Kuza, a local arms dealer in Pakistan was obviously upset.
"I'm just trying to make a decent living, I mean, I have a truly industrious service to offer, and now the government is trying to regulate how I run my small business."
As restrictions on suicide vests become more strict the purchasers are finding new creative ways to get around the problem. Children in Pakistan don't usually develop criminal records till their 6th birthday, and have, coincidentally been the top purchasers of suicide vests, at least in the under 12 age group.
