I dont see that they should be given any extra favor just because they are Indians, Rules are rules for everyone , on the other hand I am not sure why that French person got the transit visa may because of some treaty signed with Indian Govt or Immigrations officers couldnt issue a transit visa ti Kids becuase both had somekind of visa whether PIO or visitor visa, they cant overpass whats already issued to them, Its their fault that they didnt got the PIO and Visa with them, I would have agree if they forgot one but this is carelessness and then you are ashamed of being India, We are ashamed of having you as Indians, Keep your attitude with you and go back to BOSTON
