.
Eighty-year-old Kalam was frisked in New York on 29 September before boarding an Air India flight.
Sources said that after Mr Kalam had taken his seat in the aircraft, the US security personnel forced the crew to open the door and took away the jacket and boots of the former President to check for explosives since they had forgotten to do so before his boarding. The items were later returned to Mr Kalam.
