When I was traveling from DEL to BOM, via Air India, one of the attendants that was assigned to me literally pushed a child in a wheelchair out of the way and yelled "VIP coming through." I literally wanted to die.
Anyone who wants to see what serious VIP status in a security line looks like should fly domestic in India. Having the attendant assigned to push you past everyone is interesting...
