"Whatever is needed, the government will do. I have just been told about this issue. If anybody is found wrong, they will have to tender an apology," Patel told reporters.
The former president was reportedly subjected to a full body check and even asked to remove his footwear as he waited on the aerobridge of the Newark-bound flight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) recently.
Kalam is on a list of those exempted from such security exercises.
