Kirpans Allowed at the Olympics


Kirpan ceremonial dagger

(London, England) In about two weeks, visitors will flock to various Olympic venues and will undergo searches by security guards looking for banned items. Guns, knives, explosives are forbidden.

That is with the exception of kirpans, ceremonial daggers, carried by members of the Sikh religion. Kirpans with blades up to six inches will be allowed.
