The latest report, carried in the state-owned Farsi daily, Iran, said Ms Talayan had hidden "spying technology or a microphone" in her teeth.
According to another Farsi daily, Tabnak, she told customs officers that the security forces of Armenia would kill her if she was sent back by Iran.

When you live in the 14th Century, bridgework looks like stuff from 007 movies...
Is she 'America' or 'Armenian'? And if the former, why do Americans continue to travel to Iran? Nothing good can come of it.
Mike: Probably because they have family there or have no choice in the matter. I wouldn't go the America if you paid me and not due to the "oh noes, terrrohr!", I grew up in NI.
She was one of those American "hikers" that was caught in 2009. I can think of better places to take a hike...
at least they didn't say she was an Israeli spy.
