U.S. Apologizes After Canadian Minister Ordered to Remove Turban
----------------------------------------------------------------

The United States has apologized to Canadian Cabinet minister Navdeep
Bains, after transportation security agents ordered him to remove his
turban during a screening at Detroit's international airport. A travel
policy issued in 2007 allows members of the Sikh faith-like Bains-to
keep their turbans on as they pass through metal detectors or other
airport scanners.
