If I walked into a bank wearing a ski mask I'm sure they would want me to remove it. What makes this any different?

P.S. I could argue that wearing a ski mask is a way of life in northern states.  ;)

There have been court cases over Drivers license photos with Burqa.

Muslim woman cannot wear veil in driver's license photo
ORLANDO (AP) — A Florida judge ruled Friday that a Muslim woman cannot wear a veil in her driver's license photo, agreeing with state authorities that the practice could help terrorists conceal their identities.
After hearing three days of testimony last week, Circuit Judge Janet C. Thorpe ruled that Sultaana Freeman's right to free exercise of religion would not be infringed by having to show her face on her license. (Related: Court order: Freeman vs. Florida)

Thorpe said the state "has a compelling interest in protecting the public from criminal activities and security threats," and that photo identification "is essential to promote that interest."

Freeman, 35, had obtained a license in 2001 that showed her veiled with only her eyes visible through a slit. But after the Sept. 11 attacks, the state demanded that she return to have her photo retaken with her face uncovered. She refused, and the state revoked her license.

Freeman sued the state of Florida, saying it would violate her Islamic beliefs to show her face publicly.

Her case was taken up by the American Civil Liberties Union, which saw the case as a test of religious freedom. Conservative commentators ridiculed the case, saying it would be absurd to allow people to obscure their faces in ID photos.

What does a Muslim woman need a driver's license for? I thought they weren't allowed to drive.

She would need a DL or other photo ID to buy booze...oh...wait...

Ah...she would need it to make a purchase in an adult book....NM ....

Well, she doesn't need it to vote....which brings up and interesting situation.  Everyone show up to vote wearing a full burka and face covering, gloves and hand them a slip of paper with the name you want to vote under.  Vow of Silence.
