Burkha can be understood because of safety... Headscarf cannot. If anything it keeps the head even more secure. I know, I've been on the world's fastest roller coaster in Abu Dhabi with hijabi chicks on the same ride.
In this day and age its safe bet American authorities were being bigoted as they mostly are against Muslims.
Why would Burkha be unsafe, but the Hijab be safe?
They're both clothing materials, both can fly off in the wind. If they're not applying the rules fairly, such as allowing Sikhs on the ride with turbans/bobble, then that's discrimination and should be fought against (even the bobble can come off). Hijabs that are fixed to the top/shirt obviously wouldn't come off and there's no reason for not allowing that as that wouldn't be headgear even though it covers the head.
There's certainly a lot of discrimination against muslims in the western sphere, particularly the western media, but fighting for causes that are not discriminatory takes away the light from the genuine anti muslim discrimination.
In any case, getting into a fight with security staff over the issue is not the way to go about solving this.
