Australia is suffering a major diplomatic embarrassment after customs officers searched Prime Minister Helen Clark for explosives.
The incident happened at Sydney Airport late last month.
Helen Clark was given a body scan with a new explosives detection device to make sure she was not a bomb-carrying terrorist.
The Prime Minister has confirmed the incident took place, but says she did not object to it.
But she says that if it had happened to John Howard in New Zealand, there would have been an uproar across the Tasman.
