Today on the CBC News website:
"The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld $5,000 in damages against British Columbia for breaching the charter rights of a Vancouver lawyer strip-searched by police who wrongly thought he was going to throw a pie at [then-Prime Minister] Jean Chrétien."
It's a fascinating story and a great example of what happens when the police get overstimulated. But one question is left unanswered:
Even if the cops legitimately thought that the counsel for the defense had been planning to throw a pie, what, exactly, did they think he was hiding up his ass that they had to strip-search him - a rolling pin?

I am reminded of the birthday card featuring a cartoon cow with the text, "In honor of your birthday" (open card) "I made you a pie."
Perhaps that was the rationale.
A rolling pin is as good a guess as any, though.
