The stringent measures are not just for Pakistanis

There is nothing wrong in having more security measures in place. We need to get offended by it. The US is doing its duty based on the intelligence to protect its citizens. We must know that US value its citizens safety and security.

My Pakistani friends don’t ever have an illusion of Pakistan being “Ally” of the US. For the US anything and everything is dispensable. They are simply using you for their agenda in this region .We also must appreciate their concern about the security of their citizens. They don’t want to take any chance on that. Unlike Pakistan where the US is given a free run to kill Pakistani citizens by drones, US value its citizens. Learn lessons from this and have some spine to protest against the drone attacks than calling the new security measures as “discriminatory”.

Stringent screening measures at the US airports are discriminatory towards Pakistan. We must protest on this discriminatory behaviour and the better option is that we should give a reciprocating treatment to the US citizens landing at our airports.

Watching some in pain won’t be that hurting, unless one goes through it. Yes. Every American should be checked. All the respected Pakistani – American citizen, once you go through screening at Pakistani Airport you will realize how painful it will be. It’s a total discrimination. Leaving more room for actually terrorist to plan.

I am a Pakistani. I guess they are right .I don’t feel any embarrassment in it. If I want to protect my home I have to be more careful and alert. So this is what they are doing now instead of making fuss we should make ourselves good human being and a true Muslim, A true Muslim can not harm any human, I slam teaches us be honest not to lie not to indulge ourselves in wrong doing. We should create new Image of Pakistan. So no need to be angry here. This is just for security. So we should be co-operative. And those who don’t want to co-operate simple way to avoid such measures simply don’t go to US…

I travel frequently to US from Pakistan, and I do not see what the big deal is. The security system at US airports works and must be obeyed.

I don’t feel anyone’s dignity is at stake here. Screening all passengers is time consuming and very expensive, therefore I suggest that old folks be exempted and profiling be allowed. Sure there will be hue and cry that must be ignored. American authorities have tried to be politically correct, and the time has come to get strict for the sake of everyone’s security.

It is a clear discrimination. if America wants to take security measures then it should be for all countries. Although America says he is our friend, but the truth is he is our friend because of his own interest in this region. Pakistan offered many scarifies during war against terror, But America put new rules in place for teasing Pakistani nation.

Pakistani administration should also take some brave steps for the protection of nation respect in the world.

There is a simple answer to all the embarrassment some Pakistanis feel while going to US. Do not go to US. SIMPLE.

I wonder if Pakistani’s are more outraged that they have to searched much more aggressively. I wonder if Pakistani’s would still have qualms over this issue if Indian’s were also be subjected to the same? However, as one person already said here. “when entering my house, I make the rules not the community at large”. As for subjecting US passport holders to the same treatment, how many of them are traveling to Pakistan? Would it even send the message that people here are trying to portray?
