Yes,, I suggested that as possible.
The other option would be because of some petty bureaucrat's personal desire to humiliate her.
Her alleged crime is not justification for an arrest,, let alone a cavity search. ( hiding the maid's paycheck?)
And why the State Department was not on this immediately,, is puzzling.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

It's all about Freedom
Petty, or even higher than that. Look at the situation through the eyes of the Obama leftists. This diplomat requested that the US Government help hunt down her runaway "slave". Would someone in the Obama Administration intentionality humiliate her? Good question.
As for the strip search, it's SOP. But there are always the prurient interests of the jailers at play too.

According to the Indian culture, what happened to her is pretty much the equivalent of a rape. It's about the worst thing that could ever happen to her. It's pretty much unthinkable.
And I think if a Female US Diplomat (not some corrupt pyscho PIeace of $#@! politician) was taken to prison and raped while in prison in another country, I'd be disturbed by it.
Update to this story...
...But if there is a sinner here, it is not the diplomat or the housekeeper. It is the U.S. Prosecutor for Manhattan, Preet Bharara, an Obama appointee, whose crusade will hurt those in whose name he launched it: foreign domestic help.
...
But Bharara, himself born in India, was unbowed. “One wonders,” he asked, “why there is so much outrage about the alleged treatment of the Indian national accused of perpetrating these acts, but precious little outrage about the alleged treatment of the Indian victim?”
It’s a good question. But the answer is not that the deeply class-conscious Indian society that reflexively treats the rich and powerful as more equal than the poor and powerless. That insinuation is true but irrelevant. It is that Indians see Bharara’s pompous insistence on enforcing a preposterous rule of law without regard to the human context as moral fanaticism.

Yea this thread being bumped brings back the classless remark i made earlier on. Yea it was dumb but I got more + reps for that than most other things I've posted, so I guess there's others who enjoyed a dumb joke as much as I do.
So much of what we discuss here is depressing or prone to make you rage. It helps to cut loose.
Other times people just forget that this is a special place in the world... It's the Internet, where some people say stupid $#@! just to get a reaction.
There's gold in them thar hills.
Not really a new idea:At a time when nothing seems to be able to stem the Indian rupee’s decline, a novel idea to boost the currency is doing the rounds: use the tons of gold stashed away in people’s homes and in temples.
India currently holds around 20,000 tons of gold, according to the World Gold Council. At current prices, that would be worth $950 billion.
A small piece of this gold – around 558 tons or 2.79% – is held by the Reserve Bank of India, making it the 11th largest official owner of gold in the world, according to data from the World Gold Council and International Monetary Fund.
The rest is held by households and individuals, in their homes or bank vaults, and by Indian temples, which have historically received gold bars, coins and even jewelry as donations from patrons.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

Similar thing happened when Pakistan got all cozy with China few years back with the fighter jet deal.
Yeah, funny story that . . . al -CIAda suddenly attacked the base housing the planes the U.S. had " gifted " ( of course with strings attached ) to burn and destroy those U.S. jets given to Pakistan.
Anyone know if China ever delivered on that order ?
