No Sikhs are not allowed to bring their kirpans on a plane because it is seen as a weapon .This can be justified as the aiport security has to check everyone's safety,but still i feel that a small kirpan should be allowed as its mandatory for a baptised sikh to keep kirpan with himself every moment.

How do Sikhs get through airport security if they are required to carry a kirpan - a type of knife?

Many Sikhs do not fly for this reason. Sikhs who do fly often remove their kirpan, since they are not flying as a Sikh representative. There have been incidents of Sikhs not attending meetings at government buildings (White House, EU Parliment) due to the security requirements. Since they were attending as representatives of the Sikh faith, they declined to participate rather than removing their kirpans.
