Egypt’s Interior Ministry ordered 140,000 teargas canisters from the United States in January, which the US State Department only allowed to be exported without the company’s name or any indication they were made in the U.S., the Egypt Independent reports Friday.

  1. You can measure democracy by how many tear gas canisters a country uses.

  3. I sense a market opportunity in selling gas masks with a V for Vendetta design…
