Celebrity gets mad when they are treated just like everyone else?

Boo-farking-hoo India.

Next time Tom Cruise goes to India please feel free to treat him like shiat and detain him for a few weeks.

KKKHHHHAAANNNNN!

Who? Is he a New Delhi cow salesman?

I feel for you, Shah Rukh Khan.

So what was your business on Ceti Alpha 5?

He just should of shouted "diplomatic immunity!"

soupafi: He just should of shouted "diplomatic immunity!"

That only works if you are a super-villain, or use it off screen,

Eh, I think the TSA needs to go away.

This.

If TSA protocols affected more members of the 1%, I think the rules would get changed very quickly.

Im_Gumby: So what was your business on Ceti Alpha 5?

My one gripe about that movie was the Reliant didn't notice that an entire planet was missing from a charted system.

Was it TSA or INS?

crab66: Celebrity gets mad when they are treated just like everyone else?

Everyone else gets detained by the TSA for 90 minutes?

Evil Mackerel: Im_Gumby: So what was your business on Ceti Alpha 5?

That, and when Khan says "I never forget a face", to Chekov, when Chekov was not on the Enterprise when Khan was.

/trivia nerd.

Ack! I'm redorkulating.

Because somebody had to:

Shah Rukh Khan let me frisk you
Let me frisk you Shah Rukh Khan
Let me frisk you, let me deeetain you

-- "I Detain You", Shah Rukh Khan

I thought they detained him because last time he was here he pooped in the street, wiped his butt with his hand and left his dead father to float down the river.

I gotta side with India on this one. I think they are up to no good with this guy, as the TSA normally only stops and detains kids in wheelchairs or elderly Caucasians.

LonMead: I feel for you, Shah Rukh Khan.

dammit

From TVTropes (new window)

"When asked about this at conventions, Walter Koenig likes to tell a humorous story about how Chekov, then a lowly Red Shirt, met Khan by using a restroom Khan had much need of. Upon discovering that Chekov had also depleted the toilet paper, Khan cursed the poor ensign and declared he would never forget his face."

That was the first thing I thought of as well. Glad to see that it's been referenced. :)

Shah Rukh Khan, huh?

/I'll be back.

His last name is Khan, what's the big deal here?

As if TSA is not allowed to profile, or something like that.

I guess Outworld just doesn't inspire much fear anymore.

/not obscure at all

His name is Khan, and he is not a terrorist.

/good movie

DrippinBalls: Who? Is he a New Delhi cow salesman?

Um. Just the most famous actor of all time in Asia. He is freaking huge over there. His movies are pretty good, if you're into Bollywood.

I'm laughing at the "superior intellect."

Fark U India...

Sorry, Kahn, but we do that shiat to everyone.
Welcome to the New America™.
certain limitations and restrictions apply
freedom may have settled during shipping

I think the actual take away from this is that India treats air travelers with more dignity and respect that the US does. So congrats to us; we're less polite and more authoritarian than India.

rynthetyn: Dude is quite literally one of the most famous people on the planet, you'd think the TSA might remember that they nearly caused an international incident with India the last time they detained him and the Indian consulate had to get involved.

And, just because, here's a video of Shah Rukh Khan kissing John Barrowman. (new window)

I like the girlish little hop John did at the end there. Really seals it. XD

No way this would happen to Otm Shank... India's answer to Brian Dennehy.

You're full of shiat.

I thought this was common knowledge?

To be fair to Shah Rukh Khan (since no one else is), if you remember the original article way back he was pretty humble about it. He didn't expect special treatment, just to not be detained like a criminal.

The people making a fuss are those in India. To them he's like Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, and Clint Eastwood combined. If some other country treated all three of those guys poorly we'd call them a backwater communist shiathole and probably bomb them.

"Yes, it always happens... Whenever I start feeling arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to America," he joked with students. "The immigration guys kick the star out of stardom."

whoa, he's totally stuck on himself, yeah subby good use of the "dumbass" tag :/

fusillade762: LonMead: I feel for you, Shah Rukh Khan.

Let me rock you, Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh mad?

Shah Rukh real mad.

/The TSA do need to go away, but I couldn't resist.
//Main Hoon Na is my favorite film with Shah Rukh Khan.

That's one event. Compare that to how frequently people get hassled, humiliated, strip searched, and flat out robbed by the TSA and Customs. But you're right; a single event of Indian internal security guards getting into a fist fight with an airport employee over not being in uniform is entirely the same as it being the declared policy of Indian security to treat every single air passenger as a criminal, so your continued patriotism-fueled condescension towards other countries is entirely justified.
