Bengaluru Women Shruthi Basappa Strip Frankfurt AirportIt came as a shock to everyone when in January an Indian-origin Singaporean woman was ordered to squeeze her breasts at Frankfurt airport to prove she was lactating. Despite the global outrage, it seems that the authorities at Frankfurt airport have not learned their lesson yet. In a shocking incident of racial profiling, yet another Indian-origin woman had to go through a humiliating incident at the same airport.

The woman in question is 30 year old Shruthi Basappa who was told to strip by Frankfurt airport security. However when her native Icelandic husband walked in, she was allowed to go ahead with just a pat down. Attributing it to clear racial profiling, Shruthi has raised the important issue of brown people having to undergo such humiliation as part of the travel experience.

Shruthi has filed a complaint of the incident with the Facebook airport authority but it has since been two days and there has been no response from them!
