    The name that he carries is the main reason ...Airport security is very strict these days ..there is nothing wrong in the security guy doing his job.
    I have been asked to remove my shoes many times ..but I never resist it or blame the authorities ..
    Its their job ...No complaints .
    The people of a particular community carry a guilt with them these days ..they get easily offended ..
    They need to look at themselves and look inside and contemplate as to why the whole world seems worried with their ideology.
