That’s SO unfair- they won’t even let ninja carry their pointy little stars aboard , lucky for the ninja, they board undetected, you *can* tell when one sneaks past security(the machine beeps when it detects their stars and climbing claws). But no one is there!
This is pretty ridiculous- you can’t bring a two finger width mini Swiss Army knife, but you can bring a mini Sikh dagger? But only if you’re a Sikh?
Not that I ever had a problem with any Sikh person, but this is seriously retarded.
World Sikh Organization welcomes Canadian decision to allow small kirpans on flights
Soooo......they want to take the white guys nail clippers, but let the "minorities" carry knives. ****ing liberals
So, just wanted to add some background to this... for anyone who doesn't know. Sikhs aren't Muslim, just so we're clear. It's an off-shoot of Hinduism, but one that is of a monotheistic variety. They believe in one-God, though they don't know exactly who it is... essentially believing somewhat similar to the Bahai religion that all people share the same God and that each religion just has a different perspective on this God.
Never the less... it seems silly to let them have a dagger on a plane because... well... a Muslim can easily pretend to be a Sikh and bring a dagger on board, and well... how's that going to go.
But Sikhs themselves are not to be lumped in with Muslims.
Actually, the point isnt about the tenants or risk posed by one, or any, religion.
The point is, in this **** -hole animal-farm orwellian society one group gets extreme "special" rights and privileges above all others.
You either have the same security measures for all passengers, or for none. If one group gets to be armed, then they all do. No excuses tolerated.
The main reason being....Whats to stop Mr. Allah-Ak-BOOM from tossing on a turban and claim to be a Sikh then proceed to go slice-and-dice against all the UNARMED passengers once airborne ?
This is opening one hell of a security risk just so one group doesnt get all bent and offended.

Truth is, there's probably already someone looking into this and seeing how they can accomplish this task.
