Bulletproof Turbans

No, that's not a joke. The Guardian reports:

Sikh police officers want special bulletproof turbans to be developed so they can serve in firearms units, according to the new British Police Sikh Association. The Sikh religion requires its male followers to wear the turban, but existing police safety helmets do not fit on top of them.

What's next, bulletproof burkhas for conservative Islamic women police officers?
