The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says the rights of a Rastafarian baggage screener at Boston's Logan International Airport were violated when he was threatened with firing unless he cut his hair.

An administrative judge has issued an interim ruling in favor Josue Brissot (JOE'-sway BREE'-soh) and scheduled a February hearing on potential compensation.
