So the article doesn't make it clear whether they only arrest citizens- perhaps they also arrest tourists.
More to the point- how do they know who is a tourist and who a citizen?"
I read somewhere that all Egyptian citizens are required to carry identity cards that specify religion (incidently "non" is not an option). Possibly how Egyptian authorities descriminate who to arrest for that terrible crime of eating!
I seem to remember reading it in either Dawkins or Hitchens...
