Stripped?

Why are the men stripped? Or did they just choose to dress light?

Weather: Temperatures remain 4-6C above the seasonal average. Sunny to partly cloudy in general, misty in the east. Light to moderate W/NW winds. (source)

Some could be wearing what they were but most seem to be wearing less than they should. One guy on the right looks totally naked, some camo pants wadded up to cover his butt. --Caustic Logic (talk) 01:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
My guess would be to make sure they don't wear suicide belts. Megaphone: "Hands up and pants down and we'll take you alive ... bang!". Gloves are certainly off. :o( --CE (talk) 22:05, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Agreed, it might be a security thing. And/or to humiliate. Safety first though. --Caustic Logic (talk) 01:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
