Qatar What were they thinking?

I would have thought this episode may have had some exposure on the forum. Women on ten aircraft in Doha forced to show their privates to prove they hadn't given birth. Seems Australia has been the only one to complain of the treatment. Be interesting to know where the other nine aircraft were headed.

As sad as this is, don't lose sight there was an abandoned baby at the airport who was obliviously light in skin and whose mother having just delivered would've been in need of care and attention and who might have jeapordised the safety of a flight due to physical and mental pain. They failed to find the mother on this occasion but what else could they do, make a PA and expect her to come forward and admit abandoning her new born? Case of damned both ways me thinks.

.....Problem is there are many who suspect the motives for these assaults had little if anything to do with the authorities wanting to provide "care and attention".
