Harry Gill, a Sikh community leader from Caruthers, worries that
screeners will be more apt to touch the turban under the new rules.

"This is a religious thing. Taking off or touching the turban is like
a slap on the face," he said.

Gill said Sikhs in the San Joaquin Valley began circulating petitions
about three weeks ago to seek a change in the regulations. The
petitions are expected to be dropped off next week in the offices of
Rep. Jim Costa, D-Fresno, Rep. George Radanovich, R-Mariposa, and Rep.
Devin Nunes, R-Visalia.

"We don't want that law put against the Sikh people. That's our
religious symbol," Gill said.

Wasn't there some group in some federal prison somewhere about 20
years ago that formed their own religion - declaring Jack Daniels
to be their sacrament and petitioning the prison system to supply
same?

And in what way do you think this relevant to this issue?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
