India's not happy.
The country is upset its U.S. ambassador, Meera Shankar, was frisked by a female Transportation Security Administration official at an airport in Mississippi last week, according to The Associated Press.
Witnesses at Jackson-Evers International Airport said Shankar, who was on her way to Baltimore on Dec. 4 after giving a speech at Mississippi State University, was singled out for wearing a sari, The Clarion-Ledger reported.

Kind of sad when there's more personal freedom and less government interference in India than in the United States.

By now people should realise that the US is a prison state..
When you visit a prison this is the sort of security you must go through..

Maybe in your or their eyes Im diffrent, hence why I have no issues with her being felt up. If you dont like it, then dont come, Im sure the look on her face was priceless as she was told her Diplomatic status didnt matter.....oohhh how the earth must have stopped spinning at that moment.
