Yes, it's true. Dr. APZ Kalam, former President of India was frisked by Continental Airline of United States at IGI airport, New Delhi. In what is seen as a clear violation of protocol, former President was treated as a commoner as he was frisked by the ground staff of Continental Airlines at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) on April 24, 2009 at the insistence of the company's American boss. The former President was on his way to Newark on Continental Airlines Flight CO 083.

Kalam was reportedly forced to wait on the aerobridge even as the airlines security personnel debated whether to put him under the security scanner or not. Kalam was asked to surrender before the security officials for a complete body check and remove his footwear as well.

I wonder how America will react if Bush or Bill Clinton will be treated like that by Indian authorities at the airport. I don't understand why this news came out in media so late. Now, all the Indian political parties are condemning the act.
