Sat Nam, Ji- No, one K is not more important than the other; I apologize if there was any misunderstanding. You are correct, one cannot carry the kirpan through the security gate. I do the same thing as you do regarding educating the individual doing the screening, and they have always been interested and receptive, and by keeping the kara on it helps to explain Sikhism. (By the way, I like it: "100% random screening") However, it is not a good idea to take off the kara, glasses, jewelry, or any thing like that when going through screenings; such items have been stolen. Safekeeping was my main intent; not causing consternation.
