Sikhs wear a kara, kirpan, kaccha, kanga, and kesh to show that they are Sikhs and that they are proud.
Sikhs do not carry knives, but infact a kirpan. A kirpan is one of the 5k's which all 'amrit shacke(loyal followers of Sikhism)' were instructed to wear by the 10nth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Initiated Sikhs (Khalsa Sikhs) carry the Kirpan as part of the five K's which they promise to adhere to on initiation. Kachh (short trousers/underwear), Kara (Steel Bracelet Kangha (Wooden Comb), Kesh (uncut hair), Kirpan (sword).
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.
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.
yes they are because it is one of the 5k's that a sikh has to keep with them at all times n moreovr sikhs use use their kirpan or sword for the protection of the downtrodden.

Sikhs wear turban for safety for their hair and turban is also a identical symbol and regard of Sikh religion. That's why Sikhs don't have to wear hats.
Sikhs do not actually have Baptism as Baptism is a Christian term. Sikhs (if they choose to be as adults) are initiated into the Khalsa Sikhs which is a ceremony known as Amrit. During Amrit a Sikh drinks a holy sugared water from a steel bowl. From this time they must adhere to the 5'ks. Kachh, Kangah, Kara, Kesh and Kirpan. Initiation is available to both Men and Women.
