"A diplomatic spat has erupted between Spanish and US officials after staff at Miami airport insisted on screening Spain's Crown Prince and his fiancee." - BBC News Read the full article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3616393.stm

Okay, little venting here! If you read the entire story you'll see these royals were in the United States, Miami Florida to be exact, they did not issue a 72 hour notice arrival, which is United States law, only a six hour notice...So naturally they had to be searched.

Plain and simple: I don't care if your the Queen of England, when you step foot into another country your title really doesn't mean a hoot- the only thing that is concrete, is that while your visiting, those nations laws and rules apply, and you must be searched in this case. Apparently he thinks he's above the law.

Spain of all the countries would I never expect such ignorance. Of course Miami's mayor had to kiss butt and send him an apology letter, which I believe was uncalled for since he, nor his staff or the Airport do anything wrong. It's time rich people, or important people, or what ever political figures, actors etc...To start showing a little respect for the rest of the world and following the same rules that apply to everyone else but their god blessed divine selves.
