| Sikhs allowed to wear kirpans to 2010 Olympic venues
 Quote:
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The RCMP say Amritdhari Sikhs will be allowed to wear kirpans into 2010 Winter Games venues. The 2010 Integrated Security Unit says it's developed guidelines in consultation with the Sikh community. RCMP say with few examples of the kirpan being used as a weapon, they don't expect any additional risk.
Those wearing a kirpan will have to inform venue security. The total length of the ceremonial sword won't be able to exceed seven and a half inches. As well, it will have to be worn under clothing and not be easily accessible.

i know its a religious thing, but have there been many related cases of these being used as weapons? do they have to be kept so sharp even though they arent to be used? should just make dull blunt ones  |

You do realise that there are thousands of people at work, in malls and at school wearing one underneat their clothing. It is not a weapon, but simply a sign of their religion. My grandmother wears one, and I have only seen it a handful of times. This really not be a concern to anyone considering the number of attacks there have been using a Kirpan. Google it and let me know if you find more than 3.

must be worn under clothing...wouldn't that be like a concealed weapon?
i wonder what will happen if someone abuses this rule and uses it as a weapon during the olympics. seems like the authorities are playing with fire on this one

the kirpan's that the average joe wears is so dull that you can't even cut an apple with it. people carry pocket knives all the time I don't see what the issue is. there is no fucken way that an average person has a kirpan as sharp as the one that is shown in the picture.

On a side note, Punjabi will be the 4th most spoken langauge in Canada by 2011. It'll pass Italian and German.

I could see this being an issue if we didn't have a significant sikh population but here in Canada we've made accommodations for sikh police officers and motorcycle riders based on their traditional wear. Those are permanent conditions.
The olympics will last a few weeks at best.
With the Americans lending their security expertise in a post Atlanta Olympics and 9/11 world I really doubt that there'll be many problems at all.
