Subject: Disparate Screening of Sikh Travelers at American Airports
Date: July 8, 2011
This memorandum is jointly submitted by the Sikh Coalition, Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF), and UNITED SIKHS to highlight concerns and recommendations regarding airport screening policies of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). These screening policies result in disparate screening of Sikh travelers, who are religiously required to wear turbans.
In the course of offering recommendations, we are guided by a belief that protecting the civil rights of air
travelers is not only compatible with but also necessary for the fulfillment of national security goals.
