BC Student Detained by Secret Service

A Boston College student was detained by the Secret Service for taking
pictures of his own campus. The student, Sundeep Sahni, is a member of
the Sikh religion and wears a full turban. In most cases security on
campus is provided by the BC police, but unlucky Sundeep was unaware
that the Secret Service were camped out at BC during the DNC.

Sahni, 21,
said he believes he was singled out because of his appearance. At
one
point
during
the
searches,
he said,
an agent
told
him: "I
don’t want you pulling an Uzi from your turban."

"It was the most humiliating experience of my life," Sahni said.

    To Sahni’s credit, he is not taking the whole thing lying down.
