Once inside the United Airlines plane, one of the delegation members remarked that he hoped the flight proved to be their last flight and they soon reached their destiny. However, a passenger who overheard them mistook the officials for terrorists. The airport security staff was alerted, who “questioned the Pakistani delegation and misbehaved with them”. The US Defence Department has apologised for the incident, however the delegation has decided to return home. daily times monitor US says mistreatment of Pak army ‘most regrettable’ incident WASHINGTON (SANA): Deploring the mistreatment of Pakistan Army delegation at US airport, US termed the incident as ‘most unfortunate’, adding US has begged pardon from Pakistan government in this wake, assuring that the canceled meeting may be held in Pakistan in coming days.

Reaction
Apart of what the ISPR and the delegation has done, we can do nothing on this appalling, paranoia and maltreatment but gnash in anger, as we are heavily dependent on US for AID, It could be augured looking at the contemporary situation of dependency.
