New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark was frisked at Sydney Airport for explosives in an incident that has embarrassed the Australian Government.
Despite having a NZ security officer with her, Miss Clark was pulled out of a queue on October 28 and given a body scan with a new explosives detection device to make sure she was not a bomb-carrying terrorist. […]
A senior adviser to Miss Clark said the NZ security officer accompanying his Prime Minister was “a bit upset” that she was being scanned for explosives.
Yeah, embarassed, that’s the ticket. We here at the Australian Government are deeply embarrased about this incident. Yep.
