CCTV footae claimed to be of Indian diplomat strip searched by US

The video is clearly fake... The media should hold higher standards, and verify sources before publishing to the public. A peaceful agreement can be reached but it requires sensible actions by both parties.

Only one word: Disgusted. This is a shame. The Police Dept. calls this "standard procedure", i call it torture, human rights violation and rape. Because "Cavity Search" is syntax sugar for "Sticking fingers or objects into her anus and vagina".

I'm absolutely shocked and worried. What if she wasn't a diplomat? What if she was just a normal tourist or someone visiting relatives? It wouldn't make the situation better. Is this what usually happens in the US? Are they actually allowed to do this?

Absolutely disgusting footage. India has every right to be angry and so should everyone else. It appears that a male was administering the cavity search. Isn't this against the TSA's rules?

I don't understand how the protestation that this is "standard practice" is supposed to help - in effect they seem to be saying "we abuse, degrade and humiliate anyone we detain, regardless of the level of perceived threat".

What happens if you flatly refuse to disrobe? Do they tear your clothes off and rape you anyway?

I would think that at the very least female "suspects" would have all-female staff administering such searches.

IF this is not a fake, it's out-%$^#-ing-rageous, the poor woman was treated like an animal. OTOH she should pay her staff a living wage.

Outrageous. That's why there is an inherent hatred against American state in general throughout the world. GOD bless America!
