Dimapur Airport: Where passengers undergo two security checks

Dimapur: Dimapur airport perhaps has the distinction of having two check-in security procedures- one before entering the departure lounge and the second after leaving the departure lounge to board the aircraft.
As if the security check prior to entering the departure lounge is not enough harassment - with the security personnel of the CISF ensuring that at times passengers feel more victimized for having to pay for special class cost to travel - the second security check literally leaves the journey start with a bad taste.
Passengers who have had to undergo the usual CISF treatments prior to entering the departure lounge, are again subjected to another set of body frisking and opening their hand baggage outside the terminal building.
For any non-VIP passenger, the second boarding security check done by the local police, appears as if there is a feeling somewhere within the Dimapur airport security authorities, that passengers at Dimapur have to be frisked by CISF and police. If that be so, then the question that remains to be answered is why the differential treatment?
