srk after detained at a US airport

Cheap publicity for his movie’ 
Looks like Mr Khan is trying to get some cheap publicity for his upcoming movie (My Name Is Khan). He has to understand that his VIP status does not give him a free pass to bypass security screening. He has to be a role model for others instead of being a crybaby. Learn from president Kalam, be humble and accept the hard truths of today’s world.

The government should get involved every time any Indian citizen goes through this 
I agree that this is much ado about nothing. And, in fact, if there is something to be upset about – and something that justifies the Indian government getting involved and ‘taking up the issue with the US’ – I think this should be done every time ANY Indian citizen goes through this kind of security check.Maybe he’s a great performer in his own field, but there are great doctors, great construction workers, great sweepers. So what? Procedures are the same for everyone.

‘US immigration officers are ignorant, badly trained and arrogant’ 
I have lived in the US for 25 years as a green card holder and a citizen, and have suffered similar indignities – and I don’t have a Muslim name. The immigration officers are ignorant, badly trained, and arrogant. These are the same people who stamped the passports of terrorists without asking a single question and now they derive pleasure from insulting visitors who have nothing to do with terrorism. The US needs to start retraining these folks, giving them sensitivity and intercultural training. As an American citizen, I’m outraged at the behaviour of these people. They undo the goodwill that Obama is trying to generate for the US.

‘Who asked us not to frisk Bill Clinton?’ 
Why should we be upset that US officials were doing their job? It’s absurd to argue that ‘our police doesn’t frisk whites, so why should we be frisked’. Is it their fault that our policemen don’t do their job properly? You’re right, who asked us not to frisk Bill Clinton? We need to get rid of this VIP culture.

‘SRK, when it happens to you... kuch kuch hota hai na?’ 
SRK, I understand, was referred to a secondary check, not uncommon at entry points in the US, and not detained. The officer was only doing his job and meant no disrespect to a visitor who perhaps is worshiped by millions in India but largely unknown in the USA... Secondly, a class called ‘VIPs’ that considers itself to be above the law of the land, does not exist in USA. It is only in India that even the son-in-law of a former PM is a VIP and therefore exempt from frisking and security checks... If someone like the Williams sisters or Tiger Woods tries to enter the Mumbai airport, a cop on duty will certainly stop them and their home country will not make an issue of it. I’ve been living in the US for long and never faced any discrimination but have seen everyone respecting the law ... It’s time we start treating everyone equal by abolishing the VIP category at our airports and not blaming other countries that have ‘no nonsense’ security procedures. And, SRK, when it happens to you, kuch kuch hota hai, na?

‘ 
Maybe many more Muslims are subjected to this – and SRK’s case brought it to the fore’ 
Hmm ... you have a point there. But there is a lack of one too. I wouldn’t care if SRK was subjected to a primary inspection alone. But if you have travelled to the US any time, you would know that a secondary inspection is pretty rare ... To me, it was clearly stupid religious profiling. Maybe a lot more innocent Muslim 
friends are subject to this. SRK’s case just brought it to the fore.
