Pat Down Searches

Indian Diplomat Meera Shankar was subjected to a pat-down search at Jackson airport in the USA. While some government officials are paying lip service in terms of apologies, the Transportation Security Administration does not seem to be apologetic.

Wonder what the reaction of the Americans would be should any of their officials (senators, ambassadors...) are subjected to a similar search in India?

Let them be subjected as well... It is being over-hyped by the media in my opinion.. May be it is done on purpose.. Why blow it out of proportion? Why give the attention? Just silently reciprocate by repeating the same thing to them as well.. And say it is part of the security process.. Will be fitting and honest..
