The importance of frisking
I wonder why it has only just surfaced that American Continental Airlines were not as thorough frisking the former Indian PM, Dr. Abdul Kalam last April as they should have been.
It is possible that he might have been ‘ambushed” on the short distance he had to walk. Considering that no one should be exempt for obvious reasons didn’t seem to be the airline policy.
Searching heels of men’s shoes is regular but not, in my experience, ladies shoes.
In contrast, security at Indian temples is most strict probably because of the large number of visitors.
Although time consuming, it is in our own interests. Temples lost to bomb outrage are irreplaceable but then so are travellers everywhere.
