Can someone please tell these so-called “celebrities” that they are not above law? First, it was Amitabh Bachhan who tried to board a flight with his revolver. Thank God he was grounded (pun intended!) by Jet Security!

It’s nobody’s business whether he sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow, under the toilet seat or inside the medicine cabinet - at his home. But it’s everyone’s business if he tries to carry firearms on a commercial aircraft. Frankly, it smacked of arrogance and little regard for the law of the land! I wonder if he even stopped to think whether he would feel it safe to board a flight if another co-passenger came aboard with a loaded revolver. Then why should others feel safe when he carries one aboard? And frankly, I doubt if the terrorists are going to shout “lights, camera, action” so that the “angry young man” can start defending himself :-) Some unsolicited advice for Big B - next time you want to pull a stunt like this, think of a Charter plane!

And more recently, it is Zaheer Khan who tried to get a friend past the security. Guys please, the security is just doing its job and it’s for the benefit of us all. This is neither the time nor the place to show off how “big” you are.
