You know Prof, if you really want to know why you have to remove your ballcap you should write CATSA and ask. Once you have the answer to that question it may also tell you why all headress is not removed. There might be a legitimate reason, but more likely it's nothing more than a rote patterned behaviour within the security staff that resulted from some earlier experiences with ballcaps setting off metal detectors. The current group of staff probably don't really know why things are done the way they are. They do it simply because it's always done that way, or they think they know the reasons based on heresay and stuff off the internet.
