Sniper Is Without Underwear
What is exactly behind that orange jumpsuit? Apparently nothing. Convicted sniper John Allen Muhammad isn't wearing underwear. The man who is condemned to death for the rash of sniper shootings in and around Washington in 2002 complained to a Fairfax County judge that in the courtroom he isn't allowed underwear because of overzealous safety concerns. "How does it make the courtroom safe with me coming in, no T-shirt, no underwear, no socks?" Muhammad asked the judge, the AP, via WTOP reports.
DCist realizes that there are concerns after Muhammad slipped out of wrist restraints last month in court, but no underwear? Can a pair of briefs be used as a weapon? Your thoughts, please.

Anything's a weapon, if you hold it right.
And he might be able to do that neat-o trick Owen Wildon's character did in "Zoolander."
