Re: PM Abbasi undergoes security check at US airport
Correct - and its not that US respects any laws - as an eg, they strip searched Indian Defense Minister George Mathew Fernandes at Dullus airport twice when he was there on official visit with protocol Indian ambassador with its entourage was there to receive him. India had all the right to make noises which they did its another thing US did not gave a damn.
In case of Abbasi I see nothing out of the ordinary, its normal to go through the process.
Re: PM Abbasi undergoes security check at US airport
Here is the gist of the argument reported by one of the medias.
“He was on a private trip so he went through the security check like all passengers. In the US this involves taking off any clothing with metal, your jacket and your shoes when passing through the scanner. He was not strip searched, that’s complete nonsense,” a family member of the premier told The Express Tribune, refuting reports by Indian media outlets.
“He was on a commercial flight, so he was travelling as a normal passenger and went through normal security procedures.
When he went in September to the UN, it was an official trip and he was received by US security officials and escorted as per VIP protocol directly from the plane
