Indian Airport security at Bangalore airport went overboard when they denied entry to a autistic child to board plane. The officer was caught on camera saying he can't allow a 'mentally instable person' to board the plane. The 'instructions' are clear now who should board and who should not board. Unfortunately these 'instructions' and resulting 'actions' might be global in this age of globalisation. The child was finally allowed to board, public outrage over this has forced a internal government inquiry into this.http://www.ndtv.com/morenews/showmorestory.asp? category=National&slug=Autistic+kid+denied+boarding%2C+CISF +flayed&id=94334
