Treat Them the Same Way

A Pakistan Army delegation called off its trip to CENTCOM USA when the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the Dulles Airport in Washington reportedly mistreated them. The high- ranking delegation was traveling in the United States at the invitation of the US government, but the TSA paid little heed to their official status and treated them like a bunch of terrorists during their interrogation.
Though later the US government and the TSA apologized for their unbecoming behavior but I was considered that enough was enough and the delegation was called back by the Pakistan authorities.
Is calling off the official visit enough for such humiliation? Why not invite a similar high-ranking delegation to Pakistan and treat them the same way?
