Former President APJ Abdul Kalam today downplayed his frisking by US security officials at New York's JFK Airport, saying it was not worth talking about. "Forget about it. It is not worth talking about," Kalam said while responding to a question on the sidelines of an IIMC event in Kolkata.
Kalam (80) was twice frisked at the JFK Airport by security officials who even took off his jacket and shoes to check for explosives before he was to board an Air India flight on September 29.
