USA is a victim of a major terrorist attack. It is trying hard to prevent itself from another attack. It is not “strip-search” when a person is asked to remove their coat and shoes. I have frequently traveled in and out of the US after 9-11 and every time it is professional. Certainly the Queue is longer but it is effective. Probably, he being a diplomat, Mr. Fernandes did not stand in that queue but “Be a roman in Rome” is the motto for this scenario. Mr. Fernandes may be the defense minister of India, but he is a traveler to the US and needs to go thru’ the security check others go through. By-passing airport security (recent incidents where members of the ruling party easily entered the sterile zone in a major airport) may be easier in India but with the present environment, it is not the USA’s cup of tea. We should take this as a learning rather than thinking about a specific person’s ordeal.
