Stop the TSA's New Turban Screening Policy
Write your senators now!
The bad news is
-- The TSA created new rules in which screeners have the discretion to pat down turbans, whether the metal detector alarms went off or not.
-- Dozens of reports of Sikh air travelers being humiliated and harassed across the country are pouring into our office every day.
-- TSA officials believe that, because they make folks take off cowboy hats and berets, they are not profiling Sikhs with turbans.
The good news is
-- Congressional action is influenced by mail from their constituents.
-- Congress has a voice in TSA policy that affects you.
-- The TSA is willing to work with Sikh groups to find a workable solution.
The New TSA Headwear Search Policy Doesn't Make Sense
-- America isn't made safer by pouring our resources into non-existent threats.
-- It leaves Sikh travelers ignorant of their rights
-- It restricts religious pluralism
Write your Senator and tell them that the TSA's new policy is flawed. Encourage them to create screening policies that keep America safe, while respecting Sikhs' religious freedoms. Please
