2009 >>India >>Delhi Airport:
Celina Jaitley was going through the security check for her morning flight
to Mumbai. She was subjected to body frisking and her belongings were
scanned.
She was shocked after realising that her expensive state
of the art iPod and Blackberry were scratched while quite
a few other things in her bag were broken.
What Celina Says about this :
"I agree that authorities are doing their duty and we too are completely
cooperating with the security measures. It is for our own benefit and
I understand that we should comply with them. However, who gives them
the right to mishandle things belonging to others? It was heartbreaking
to see my stuff in a bad shape. Both my iPod as well as Blackberry have
lost their sheen due to callous attitude of men who were doing the scan."
Worse, the cops who were apparently responsible for the damage, were
found smiling even as Celina was complaining against them.
Celina further says:
"These guys don't know how to behave with women. I went up to the
officer in charge and all he could say was 'Sorry'? Also, they told me
in no uncertain terms that they couldn't repair what was broken. Moreover,
the guys who did it were grinning in front of him. What a shame! Someone
ought to teach these cops how to behave with women".
It wasn't just the material loss that angered Celina. During the same
time, she also saw an old female passenger being pushed around. When she
approached the officer in charge, all she got from him was a casual 'sorry'.
Celina further says:
"I was not only angry with them for breaking my stuff but for their
misbehaviour with other women. They are there to secure us and not to
humiliate, insult and manhandle us, especially women. They are misusing
the power of uniform everywhere now-a-days. At the end of the day we are
paying passengers and they can't break our things, insult us and indulge
in indecent behaviour,"
Though there wasn't any major showdown at the airport post Celina's outburst,
women around her were certainly appreciative about her courage to voice
her displeasure.
Celina further says:
"True, the women there were thanking me and one of them even said
that I did what they couldn't have possibly done in fear. Well, nice to
hear this as a compliment, but my request to all womenfolk out there is
- 'Fight for yourself and raise your voice in events like this'. Till
the time we don't come out in open and let the authorities know that they
are there to help us and not harass us, such shameful things would continue
to happen."

Ok. Let's Learn a Phrase today :
In the above News, there is a phrase 'STATE OF THE ART' (marked in red).
When this phrase was first used?
There was one book with name The gas turbine: progress in the
design and construction of turbines operated by gases of combustion which
was released in 1910. In this book, it is quoted like this: .....
In the present state of the art this is all that can be done.
