Female cabin crew strip searched

Jack Dunn, 23, experienced the trip from hell when he landed in Honolulu, Hawaii , ready to begin a four month adventure in the Americas. But when he arrived he was stopped at the border, detained, strip and cavity searched, sent to prison, and then put on a plane back to Australia. He had applied for a visa waiver for his trip - and had been warned he had to prove his plans to exit the US when his stay there was done. Jack however was caught out by the rule that means you have to either have a return flight home or onward travel to a country that does not border the US.

They were marched from the plane and directed to ambulances, where, according to Australian officials and accounts from some women, they were strip-searched and given invasive medical exams to see if they had recently given birth because a newborn had been found abandoned in a bathroom at Hamad International Airport. The episode in Doha sparked anger and disbelief in Australia. Among the women who told Australian officials she had been examined while transiting through the Qatari capital on Flight QR was a year-old Australian nurse who asked that she be identified only by her first name, Jessica, because of the personal nature of the exam.
