Why is Mr. Malik flying with the ordinary people in a commercial flight? Give him an RAF plane or a dedicated British Airways plane. Allow him to land in a military airport in USA. He will be received by the appropripate US official according to protocol.
I have no problem if a US senator is searched in a British airport. They will then learn how the ordinary citizens live.
again damned if he flys in a separate airplane - carbon footprint and all-
so MP's try to fly "normal "-- first class of course .
but i would of thought a visit to the defence people would have been revieved by a manger/supervisor to meet and greet and ease this .. but hell worse shit happens - its jsut twice in a row for this guy ...
