India's foreign minister called the pat-down of the ambassador unacceptable.

You just can’t, folks, make this stuff up.
Yeh...Little kids, big boobs and hung...only!!
If it’s good enough for Americans, it’s good enough for Indians (or anyone else).
Hillary remarked..., "It is only the common folk who should be felt up, not the rulers!"
Hillary & her pal Janet couldn’t care lees about treating non-suspect Americans like terrorists but worry about the foreigners. So what else is new?
What was he doing in Mississippi?
“The only good indian is a (well you know the rest).
I remember Indian burns in grade school (ouch!) but I am not familiar with the Indian pat-down.
What’s outrageous is Hillary is exempt from the groping (I presume).

Outrageous! Patdowns are only for the serifs! Our rulers are exempt. Long live the King!
Oh, sorry, I thought it was Bill, and he was concerned that he didn’t get to do it.
She better be damn well concerned. Diplomatic immunity is not something to take lightly. Dumb-asses at TSA think they can violate international treaties signed and ratified by US Congress! Guess what, the next time US Ambassador travels in India, he will have sweaty Indian palms up his behind. Let see how well that goes down with US govt and its people. TSA can shove its policy of ‘diplomats are not exempt’ with this big clueless behind. Because diplomatic immunity is a part of US law. Yes, it seems elitist to give diplomats a free pass through but there is a reason for this. Because its reciprocated by other countries as well. If TSA keeps up this crap for long and starts offending allies or hostile countries, guess what, US diplomats will start getting the same treatment in their countries of posting. Lets guess how many state dept officials want the diplomatic posting to China or Russia after one of theirs is ‘handled’ by TSA here!
Why is it unacceptable? If normal Americans have to be patted down even though they aren’t a threat, why should the Indian Ambassador not be treated the same?
I could give a rat’s a...(well - anyway) less about what the Indian or any other diplomat thinks about the TSA pat-downs!
These pat-downs are a violation of our 4th Amendment rights (at the VERY least) and a physical attack bordering along the lines of sexual assault (at the accurate description)!
I don’t care what anyone else thinks, but if we the “serfs” have to deal with these, then anyone and everyone who gets on the plane other than pilots and the flight crew should be required to go thru the same indignant treatment. Government officials, Hillary, anyone getting on a commercial flight! PERIOD!
Drop them for these elites, they better drop them for ALL of us!
