I was particularly shocked about these comments by the so called "king" khan's friends:

The event is "as absurd as Brad Pitt coming to India, being strip-searched, investigated and interrogated,"-Karan Johar wrote on his blog.

I'm sure brad pitt will not have a problem with security routines. nor will he cry foul or demand VIP status. Its not brad's fault if we treat him like a VIP. we do it by choice. and we should not be using the word "strip search" without knowing the facts. strip search does not always mean undressing to naked. untucking the shirt, removing your jacket are also referred to as strip search. only if the airport officials suspect hidden objects, do they ask you to undress to naked.

shah rukh khan said "routine security procedures were not followed". well, how does he know what they are? Airport officials in USA are very professional. SRK should refrain from making assumptions as to what "routing security procedures" are.

I'm appalled by comments coming in from union minister (shashi tharoor) and other indian govt officials. I think we are jumping the gun on this one. There is no valid reason to claim racial profiling. USA is far more liberal and secular and anti-racist than india can ever be.
