Airport security issue upsets PM

The PM of Papua New Guinea has objected to having his shoes X-rayed at BNE airport.

Is VIP security clearance only accorded to diplomatic personnel in other countries or is this a case of fair play? What if it was Tony Blair or Prince Charles* who was in Michael Somare's shoes? Would they be asked to remove their shoes?

*Not sure on this one: As a senior member of the British Royal Family does Charles have to go through airport security like the rest of us?
