What is to stop someone, anyone, donning a Burkha under which is hidden a weapon or a bomb and walking into a department store for instance. My point is is that due to the sensitivity of issues such as religion, female modesty of Muslim women and PC who Is going to ask them to remove their veil. It could be anyone behind it.

If an attack is carried out or another crime is committed it would also be impossible for witnesses or CCTV to identify and catch them.

How anyone can think it is ok for anyone to walk around in public areas covering their faces and identities in this day and age is beyond me.

You're looking for a solution to a nonexistent problem. I don't like the veil either, but I don't have any rights to tell another human what they can/can't wear of their own choosing.

Why would you even need a burka to smuggle a bomb into a department store? Just carry it in a bag.

What about those snidey nuns? Could they be carrying bombs under their robes too?
