I agree with you about the security issues. There has to be a time and place where women can be asked to downsize to the hijab (headscarf) for identification reasons. I also imagine it would be very difficult to read and write whilst wearing the burqa in school and quite difficult for the teacher to see if the school girl is actually paying attention.

I also think some women are forced to wear the burqa but a lot aren't and if we take away choice from the women who choose to wear it, that makes us as repressive as the husbands who force it on their wives.
