Should the niqab be banned in public places? Is it oppressive or is it liberating? How will the government work this out?
Bravo ! Just like "face shielding" hoodies ala Trayvon. Hats and face gear that an independent computer ID system warns, "cannot ID". In higher security areas, call in the rapid deployment intervention for a full face view. Devout can avoid repeated harassment leaving a retina scan on file. Seems fair to Moi. Includes some hipster who wears face shielding garb. Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
You can't wear that in stores. Sorry, but, it is an issue of the law. Within some perfect world of some sort, it might not matter.
