Huffington Post: Sikh Group Alleges U.S. Undercounts Airport Discrimination Complaints

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 09:01 PM PST

As hectic Thanksgiving week air travel builds, a Sikh group is alleging that the Department of Homeland Security is ignoring reports about airport screening discrimination, including allegations that many members of the faith are pulled aside for secondary screening.

Sikhs, often mistaken for Muslims because of the turbans many wear as a religious obligation, have been targets of discrimination and hate attacks since 9/11. Although Transportation Security Administration policies forbid travel checkpoint profiling, they also say head coverings, including turbans, are subject to secondary screening.

"Talk about reinforcing negative stereotypes -- the government itself is targeting the object that folks are most fearful about -- the turban," said Amardeep Singh, cofounder of the Sikh Coalition. Singh said he is selected for secondary screening, on average, more than three out of four times he travels by air.

"There's no prison on earth like the four walls of a woman's home when she's battered," Biden said. "These women are prisoners in plain sight. They walk down the street every day and they are still prisoners."
