War vet ordered to lose vest at airport

A WAR veteran says he was ordered to remove his leather vest that bears his service medals when going to farewell a friend at Darwin International Airport.
John "Skully" Scally was outraged and offended when told by officers it was for "security reasons".
But Mr Scally, 62, who served in Vietnam with the Army, is a member of the friendly NT Chapter Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club and also has a club patch on his vest, and believes he was targeted because of all the recent "hysteria" about bikie gangs across the nation.
"I am a Digger - I'm a grunt," he said. "I'm not an outlaw. I'm not a bloody crook.
