You see at each security gate, there is varying treatment. Sometimes the hat is fine and I can go through like most other people, sometimes I am just quickly touched on the head by a female guard and then let through, other times I have to remove it in a little cabin with a curtain.
So in an attempt to find I out, I wrote to one airport. Here is the answer I received.
Now what I find bizzare with this answer is that I wonder how I would need to prove my religious reasons. A letter from my mum? "Dear Securityman, My daughter believes in God, Allah, Budda and lots of other deities. Please let her leave her hat on. Yours nicely, Mum x"
I am tempted to pretend its for religious reasons next time, just to see what happens. Not sure I will, but maybe I feel irritated enough once to try it.
The other bizarre thing is that in Zurich airport, they have a different rule. They do NOT ask you to remove it at all.
So my 5 minute research, has suggested that I should comply a little more when asked to remove my hat, but only when they explain to me that it is necessary.
Sigh.
