SAN FRANCISCO, USA—Jasmeet Singh, a popular Youtube vlogger and comedian, has stated that the TSA security guards at the San Francisco airport forced him to remove his dastar. This is the second Sikh entertainer who has met this treatment at an airport this month. Earlier, Waris Ahluwalia, a Sikh fashion designer and Hollywood actor, was asked to remove his turban at the Mexico City airport.
JusReign posted about the incident on Twitter –
so the @tsa made me take off my turban in extra screening or they said I wouldn’t be able to be let through to catch my flight

JusReign made a series of tweets on Twitter explaining the degrading treatment by the TSA agents who asked him to remove his turban, later pointing him to the restroom to put it back on.
He tweeted, “fam what was the point in taking me to the private room if u just tell me to walk out to the nearest restroom to put it back on again”.
JusReign was at UC Berkeley, located 30 minutes from the San Francisco Airport this past weekend to present at an event there.
