The following rules have been issued by the Aviation Authority:
4.1 SCREENING OF PASSENGERS AND CABIN BAGGAGE 4.1.1 Screening of passengers
4.1.1.1 Before screening, coats and jackets of passengers shall be taken off and shall be screened as cabin baggage.
4.1.1.2 Passengers shall be screened by:
(a) a hand search; or
(b) walk-through metal detection (WTMD) equipment.
Where the screener cannot determine whether or not the passenger is carrying prohibited articles, the passenger shall be denied access to security restricted areas or rescreened to the screener’s satisfaction.
4.1.1.3 When a hand search is performed it shall be carried out so as to reasonably ensure that the person is not carrying prohibited articles.
4.1.1.4 When WTMD equipment alarms, the cause of the alarm shall be resolved.
4.1.1.5 Hand-held metal detection (HHMD) equipment may only be used as a supplementary means of screening. It shall not replace the requirements of a hand search.
We sincerely hope that turbaned Sikhs are not unfairly treated in any way, and if they are; that representations are made to the relevant bodies immediately
