The following is a newsclip from TOI:-
SRK on Saturday termed the incident at Newark Airport in the US as "uncalled" for saying the expirience made him feel angry and humiliated.
I was really hassled at the American Airport because of my name being Khan...The couple of hours of interrogation wanting to know if I know anyone in America while all around people were vouching for me from India and Pakistan (sic)," the Bollywood superstar said in a statement.
"Only these guys just would not let me through. Finally they allowed me to make a call, which I did and the Indian Consulate helped me through.
Khan, who was on his way to Chicago to attend an Independence Day function was was detained at the Newark Airport and questioned for about two hours before the Indian mission intervened and secured his release.
"It was absolutely was uncalled for I think, me having just finished working there for more than a month...just a couple of weeks ago. They said I have a common name which is causing the delay...checked my bags...I felt angry and humiliated," Khan, who had just finished shooting of his latest movie
"My Name is Khan", said.

MY views-
The question is not about humiliation, cuz it's the inalienable right of the US to do so(as they think), and they have been doing this since the time they became a superpower. If the president of India can be frisked then who is SRK? The IQ of these Americans is so low that they dont even know whats "google". They could have just typed SRK on it and ransacked the info. Though I dont like SRK but i oppose what is wrong. If we Indians dont frisk American VIPS then why do they have to do it?
