#1 I read another article about this--maybe it was AP--which painted the story as a bunch of backwards Mississippi bumpkins subjecting an elegant diplomat to a pat-down. The ambassador supposedly told her university hosts, "I'm never coming back." Good. If you can't deign to subject yourself to the same indignities that Americans face while travelling, then don't be the ambassador to America you uppity b*.

#3 A Transportation Security Administration front man said diplomats are not exempt from pat-down searches

Where do they find these clowns?

#4 Okay, now we have a legal reason to disband the TSSA - they attempted to start a war with a friendly foreign power. Patting down an accredited diploma is classified as a major violation of the diplomatic immunity and is technically an act of war. If the TSSA is insisting on its right to violate all forms of law, it is an outlaw organization like the SS and needs to be disbanded.
