Appeasement

So the American Transportation Security Administration (TSA) caved in somewhat to Sikhism and watered down their initial stand on head gear ie Turbans going through the check points at the airports. Sikhs views this as a victory. Now when it comes to the Kirpan (Sword/Dagger/Knife) which we know Singhs have to wear these at all times. This will most likely be a small hurdle for the Coalition and their supporters to kick over. I read on another blog that quite soon there will be over 60,000 Sikhs gathering in Yuba California. Arriving from Canada and other places. How is the customs anywhere going to search this army?

WHICH BRINGS US TO OURSELVES:
When planes or boats arrive in Ireland with these weapon bearing militants are we geared to strip the Kirpans from them. Here is the stance in the USA. Basically out of sight out of mind. Canada might have the same policy?
We do know that Sikhs come and go to Ireland from the UK and no doubt from the Punjab.
Are the weapons confiscated at the port of entry? If not are these warriors allowed to freely walk our streets armed. Then will our Government take action and prevent this violation of our law. Think about this. In England there are 300,000 Sikhs . Should any decide to arrive by Ferry Boat are they allow on boarding to strap the Kirpan on. When does the Boat cross into Irish waters. Are they obliged to remove the Kirpan. Whose responsibliity is it to make that happen?
