Civil? I don't think there's anything civil about degrading women in such a blatant way. It seriously offends many and, as Ive said before, sends a very bad message to children about womens role in our society.

And I do not think it is a minor threat at all. When you think about where the terrorist threats are coming from these days and the fact that identification is crucial.

Have you missed those news stories about suspects found trying to escape by wearing burkas? This is a reality.
