They use a metal detector to search your dastar, so best thing would be to make sure you have nothing in your dastar that can be detected. but if they detect something they will take you into a room not to sure if they wear gloves.

I'v heard that the current law allows them to search what ever they want but i'v never heard them search someone's dastar in Birmingham airport, i know they do it in london.

I went last year october so i dont know if they have changed since then

The link to the EU Regulation that came into effect on 29 April 2010 in the letter on the Sikh Federation (UK) web site is particularly helpful:

Those that work at Birmingham Airport suggest this has already been put into effect.

Heathrow Airport were to start on 1 July 2010, but this has been delayed until 15 July 2010.
