I'm tired of seeing all of the posts about how Americans are treating visitors at the airports... What about Americans living in America...they are getting picked on to, that's why they don't care about Bollywood actors being questioned for 66 minutes, nor do they probably even know who they are...
Excerpt:
TSA agents can slap fines on Americans based on “attitude,” which TSA classifies as one of the “aggravating factors” in determining financial punishments. TSA has issued no guidance on the precise amount of obligatory groveling at airport checkpoints. People who question TSA commands are probably far more likely to be fined.
As others have pointed out in the previous posts, we've even detained our own celebrities - Bob Dylan...happened same time in same state. If we even do this to our own celebrities, what makes any other visiting nationality think they're exempt?
America is not as "free" as everyone thinks it is.
