The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says it regrets requesting that the Canadian minister for economic development remove his turban before boarding a U.S. flight.
Navdeep Bains, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minister of innovation, science and economic development, said Thursday he accepted an apology from the TSA for an April 2017 incident at an airport in Detroit where agents asked him to take off his turban, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.
Bains, a Sikh, refused to comply with TSA's request, which he said was a first in his many American flights.
