I feel I was violated in Lahore, Pakistan airport. The lady in the exam area where they inspect passengers before their flights touched my breasts and went all through my hair and questioned me. I am American and I had my hair pulled up and the lady assumed I was a terrorist and had something hidden in my hair but it was only in a twist. She touched my vaginal area in a sexual manner as well and my entire body in an ill and uncomfortable manner. She wanted me to take my bra off and I did not do it and she was angry. I was really upset and told my husband right away about it. I feel I was violated and that she did things that she did not need to do and she did not do it to other individuals because they came out of the exam area way faster than I did. I think she discriminated against me and I would like to know how to make a complaint about it elsewhere.

You are so wrong to judge because you did NOT experience it in the way I did. I am a Muslim non-white individual. I was mistreated and violated sexually by the lady who examined me. You are most likely a male and perhaps white?

Pakistan Arrival or departure is really bad experience. They extort money out of you at every check point, and there are several going in and going out. Its shameful how openly they do it. Every person you see from top down to even porters and cleaners are in on the extortion/scam... They all work in harmony and take turns to rip people off...

The Government and Police wont do anything because they are worse then the airport staff

I visited, Allama Iqbal International Airport to take my sister from airport she departures from Dubai to Lahore. I with my parents and brother, and with one sister in car, suddenly near checking 1 Security guard suddenly stopped us and he see inside car and said me and my bro to come out, and he is very rude and show finger you two come out of car, and asked our parents with our sister to go inside airport, afterward he asked us to go to another security guard and he said you cannot go inside, he is extremely rude with other peoples who are on bikes, totally unbelievable and unacceptable, 1 asked show ID Card, we are 17 and said we don`t have you can see our parents id card, but he is extremely rude and violet "violently said i will break your nose" to my bro, I was shocked never had any bad experience at anytime is life, even after tons of arguments with security guard that `we are with family`, `Allows us to go` he didn't response.

My father tried many times to asked another security guard who is inside to let us come in, show them there id card but nobody even hear properly after, he asked another security guard he listen and said OK, you can take your sons in airport...

Why the first guard stopped us even, when he knows we are with family and said to check-in inside airport from where peoples are coming in on bikes...? second gate maybe.

2. Why Security are so rude and don`t guide Properly ?

3. Afterward after continue with arguments with them they rudely said you can now check-in ? after my father show them there id card ? so, why first guard at entry from cars stopped us when we are with family.

Extremely shameful and rude, don`t expect this type of experience in my life.

Please take action as soon as possible, thank you...

Regards,
Haroon...

i travel thru Lahore quite often. every time i observer few peoples those are accompanied by someone pass the immigration line and directly go to immigration officer in order to get their passport stamped. i can understand if someone is missing the flight and these peoples are getting pulled out of line in order to make sure they dont miss their flights or someone very old or special needs person but this is not the case. most of these are relatives or friends of airport or immigration officers that are miss using their authority.
i would like to know why this is happening. i would like to know if there is any law to allow people's pass the lines and get stamped directly from immigration officer ?
last Saturday (23rd Aug 2015) at 2:30 A.M i have flight to USA with Qatar and i observed many peoples are passing the lines. i confronted the officer but they are very expert in making excuses but not action was taken.
i would like to know what action was taken out of my complaint and i would like to get complaint number. if next time i see this happening (i am sure it happen every night) i will forward copy of this complaint to higher authorities or media.
Thanks

I totally disagree with you ! I have used Lahore Airport several time but their investigations are far better than investigations at US International Airports.
