I had an experience
by MUKESH on Aug 25, 2006 10:15 AM

This happened when I was travelling to USA from India via London. From Chennai to India,the check in was as usual.

Then I had to take a transit flight from Heathrow airport. During transition, the checking procedures were normal as for the fellow passengers. when I completed my baggage checking and was heading to take the flight,I was asked to come aside near the gate and once again my cabin baggage was checked. I felt humilated as I was the only person called from the group and there were no asians,everyone was white.

Does that mean all asians are terrorists? Almos the same repeated in US @ Chicago airport.

This happened in 2004.
