Though, not at the scale of what has happened in Amsterdam, I too underwent an unpleasant experience of a similar kind in the London Gatwick airport. The fact that I was carrying a passport pouch under my shirt aroused the suspicion of a few fellow passengers and I was reported to the anti-terrorism squad which frisked me at the terminal before boarding. Being Asian has become a taboo when you travel abroad. I hope the Indians detained in Amsterdam are released soon and the detaining authorities are made to apologize for the inconvenience caused.
