I thought it was pretyt well understood that Sikhs carry these. I'm surprised the security guard hadn't been properly briefed.

Not in the US they don’t

Glances at the name of the community. I mean, possibly not in Burkina Faso, either.

I think he meant that we aren’t taught about that in secondary school over here. I know Sikhs were never mentioned at my school for example. No need to call the guy a liar

Maybe in the UK, as an American I didn’t even know Sikhs existed until I was 20 and met one while trying to move to a city. I didn’t even know about the 5 Ks until today at 30, I thought the turban and suit/vest thing they wear were then major religious adornments. Then again the only Sikh I see regularly is the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh
