Aviation minister says matchboxes don't lead to hijack: 'I carry them to flights, I am not frisked'

Civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju sparked a controversy after he revealed that he carries a matchbox with him during flights. He said he was unable to understand how it could pose a threat to travellers. While bragging about his VIP status, Raju said that since he became the Minister of civil aviation, he doesn't get frisked at security which then allows him to carry the match boxes in flights.
