If you're going to Jordan, leave your yarmulka at home

If you're going to Jordan, be prepared to have your yarmulka impounded at the border. It's a 'security concern.' A., an Israeli businessman who visits Jordan often was amazed when he was asked to leave his yarmulkes in a safe on his most recent visit to the country. "We know tefillin are confiscated and we recently heard brimmed hats were being taken, so we came with regular hats," he told Ynet."
