More on Yesterday's Demonstrations

I'm loaded with editorial work today so posting will be thin, but this report on yesterday's protests in Cairo contained an interesting aside:

Qandil had earlier estimated that 30 activists were arrested on Tuesday.

Some were later released on the desert road between Cairo and Ain Sokhna, others in Al Moqattam and on the Cairo-Ismailia road.

Don't bother locking them up: just drop them out in the desert and by the time they get home, the protests are over.
