[edit]This article is VERY one-sided. There is no mention of TSA reasons for stopping and/or searching. Apart from that, no one is above the law!!!!--Petebutt (talk) 07:45, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

- Heh. Diplomatic immunity doesn't apply to airport security screening, though (except for dossiers and such). Or to movie stars, for that matter. Seems more of a cultural difference; Indian people seem to find this disrespectful, while Americans don't understand what would be the big deal. Getting back to the OP, TSA guidelines for screening diplomats are public, but it would be nice to find some secondary analysis of American practices. Conversely, racial profiling is a thing so this concept shouldn't be poo-poohed out of hand. VQuakr (talk) 17:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello and thanks for your feedback. As the creator of this article, which I initially tagged as a stub, I can only encourage you to improve it. Just keep in mind that NPOV means "representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."

- In western Europe, nobody finds searches of "VIPs" disrespectful either. --Laber□T 15:40, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
