Did I not mention twice that I understand and respect the security issues? A full burkha sports many security issues.

So do those huge baggy pants that the teenagers wear...used to conceal guns etc. Although you could conceal a gun, bomb, infectious article under one of the hats the ladies wear to the horse races..or a bowler hat...God knows what could be under those puffy down coats. So I am concerned about security and it has to come first..but some of those lighter veils that some women wear should not be too much of a problem. We have to be smart enough and adult enough to figure out the security issues, preferably before the next bombing, without outlawing the lavendar dresses that might suggest someone is a Mormon out to convert us. mg
