    Its the common factor again from the same place. The Mlore Airport or whoever having the authority should advise all passengers with Kasargod address to fly in and out from Kerala that boasts for 4 airports. This is really a menace and time consuming, I feel sorry when the security guy asks 'where are you from?' to each and every passenger.
