Saudi kids MMS lots of porn
Despite the cultural divide between Saudi Arabian and Western culture there are certain things that remain universal. A recently released study found that roughly 70% of all files exchanged between teenager’s cellphones contain some form of pornographic image. The findings are a bit misleading, as they only scoured handsets that had been confiscated by Saudi Police from male teenagers. Ones that had been detained for harassing girls. At the very least, it can be surmised that trouble making kids around the world have similar addictions habits. For anyone heading to Saudi Arabia any time soon, consider yourself warned. It might just be time to wipe the flash memory in your phone. That is if you have anything to hide…

I have several friends who live on US oil compounds in Saudi and everytime they enter the country they check for stuff like this. (laptops also)
Yeah, it is not a good plan to do any sort of activity that is in violation of Sharia even if you are a visitor.
Last time I went to Qatar, I deleted everything from my phone including contacts (kept them on the SIM which is locked with a PIN), had a freshly formatted laptop hard drive, and brought no DVD’s with me just to ensure I had no problems. Although Qatar is much more liberal than SA, I never take chances when visiting Muslim countries.
