Lily Allen's Frightening Airport Strip Search





Singerand supermodeldidn't get a warm welcome when they landed at the Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates. Instead they were subjected to a strip search

The women were not the only celebrities who were put through this humiliating experience. They were in the country to attend the grand opening of the Atlantis Palms Hotel, which is located on the man-made Palm Jumeirah Island.

Here is what Lily had to say about the situation:



"I was strip searched, which was so nice as soon as you arrive. I knew I didn't have anything on me so I wasn't worried. I wasn't paranoid, just terrified. It was at the airport and took more than an hour. It was really scary as they didn't tell you what they were doing, they just said, 'Take off trousers' and I was like, 'Ahhh, hello!'"

Agyness and her boyfriend, The Strokes star, were both also asked to undress for a search. The model said that "it was traumatic but none the less it is their culture and one must respect that."

The hotel did send out warning to the guests ahead of time about the strict laws on bringing drugs into the country. The photos at the top are of Lily at the Atlantis Palm opening and on the right a few days later when she arrived back home.
