Sikh student detained by Secret Service

Thanks to an anonymous reader in this forum thread for this Boston Globe story, dated 30 June...

A Boston College student leader who wears a turban and full beard in accord with his Sikh religion says he was detained and interrogated for seven hours Saturday night by Secret Service agents for doing nothing more than taking photographs of the campus...

The student, Sundeep Sahni, filed a 24 July hatecrime complaint with the Sikh Coalition.
