Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
One of our states, Florida, IIRC, banned women from wearing obscuring veils when posing for a driver's license picture, and gutted it out over the ensuing,but very local furor, including the court challenge. The results, if you want a Florida driver's licens, you'd better come prepared to have your face photographed. No picture, no license; although they DO have provisions for people physically removed from the licensing bureaus like military stationed in other states or countries to get a no-picture driving license; with the understanding that they will convert it to a picture license the next time they are in the state. MY onwn state, NH, has similar provisons, too.
