On a related note, what about the new uniforms?
Who profits and what are their connections? The answer may surprise you. (Well, maybe not.) Don't tell me Haliburton has a uniform division??? |

Perhaps a good FT'er can find an article or other documentation tracing the links of VF Solutions. If I had solid proof, it would be here. |

It's amazing of some of the reactions about the turban searching posted here. The article itself makes the following statements:
The point here is simple: if you can hide explosives in a shoe, you can certainly hide them in a turban. . . . As noted in the news story, "In the Sikh religion, the turban is considered private, and removing a turban would be like removing a woman's blouse." I guess I don't understand that comparison at all, but the fact remains that this is about security and the ability to hide materials that could be used for terrorist activities. |

Given that you're indoors in an airport, it seems silly that anyone would actually wear a hat. With that said, it wouldn't cause me any delay in getting through security, so I really wouldn't care if someone told me to take it off and put it through the machine.

"Sir, please do take off your hairpiece...you are indoors, so no reason to actually wear a wig." "Ma'am, I don't care if you've had a breast removed due to cancer, please remove your bra and put it through the X-ray machine...you are in an airport, and not going to seduce anyone anyways." "All travelers, please bring your own rubber gloves and K-Y for mandatory orifice inspection prior to entering the airport, and kindly bend over and be quiet....after all, we've got to think of the children." There, I did the hyperbole on the hat-issue :D |

Ok, it's just a hat.....today....but in following the slippery-slope-line of governments, it'll soon be progressing thus:
