Without yet reading the article, I thought all headwear had to be removed for boarding? Or is that just non-religious headwear (which would make the whole security aspect pointless)?

Edit: Having read the article, it focuses entirely "after I'd already passed through security", which is irrelevant.

I know hats must be removed for boarding, and my only question would be whether religious attire is exempted from this (which, again, means the whole policy is pointless).
