I feel conflicted on this. Not only are Sikhs not Muslims, but they have been standing up and defending themselves against Muslims in India for centuries.

But when President Bush caved in to the Democrats in congress and agreed that airport security would belong to the government employees union and double their previous pay, all good sense went out the window.

So, who knows if these alternative procedures will work?

Muslim terrorists have disguised themselves as women, and they won’t hesitate to disguise themselves as Sikhs.

Such absolute PC nonsense. Just F'ing nonsense. It is complete nonsense that we don't profile at our airports. It is complete nonsense the numbers of Muslims we've hired at our airports.....

Turbans should be removed. Plain and simple. Our airports are being tested weekly....Those flying know it.....Foolish PC policies (for the sake of PC-ness) is going to cost thousands more their lives (and after the fact we will hear all the same Gov't BS about "why, why, why".

Sikhs welcome US decision not to take off turbans at airports

What a bunch of crap, if I have to take off my f***ken shoes, they better take off their turbans.

It's extremely dangerous to exempt or single out ethnic groups based solely on their ethnicity. Prior to 9/11, Sikh terrorist groups were responsible for the worst terrorist attack involving aircraft in history, the bombing of Air India Flight 182 in 1985, which killed 329 people.

All passengers should be examined thoroughly, regardless of who they are or what they're wearing.
