Why mention Iran asked one poster. My former link answered that if the poster has the wit to understand it.
When Khomenei came to power in 1979 Iranian women were forced to wear the chador (well done the poster who knows Iranian dress) or whatever. Earlier this year Iranian women protested against the male patriarchic, imperialist, Neo-Nazi , fascist and white(?) male "check your privilege" oppressors (management summary: Muslim clerics). One got a sentence of twenty years (eighteen of which deferred) for burning her scarf in public.
The difference between me and the self-righteous "feminists" on AB (there's a long list of them, but I'll spare their embarrassment by leaving them anonymous) is that the latter group advocate the right of a woman to wear the dust-bin bag whenever and wherever she "chooses" (which I disagree) and would seek whatever the nearest punishment short of the death sentence for a thug who ripped the scarf off a young Muslima (conduct, by the way, VE earher disapproves), but give not a toss for genuinely oppreesed women. I've given the Iranian women's example. There's also Asia Bibi (who she den da da da).

Spath is being deliberately obtuse here. This issue is one of security. To hide ones face in banks, post offices,shopping centres, passport control, or indeed, any place where the public congregate is just wrong.
Yes, it was an experiment, and we all know why. It was to highlight that a certain group in society expect to be treated differently to everyone else. The sooner the burqa is banned in all non muslim countries the better.

The burqa is not mainly an issue of security. Wearing it is statement:
I despise the country I'm living in and have no intention of living by its standards. Not nuch different from strutting around in a Nazi uniform.
I don't have a problem with this attitude. Rather respect it in a kind of "I've got my barbaric standards and will stick by them" way. But think such people should stay in sink-hole countries where women in dust-bin bags are "normal".

"passport control"
Do you know what obtuse means? LOL i have my points, and I've made them. If they're not the points you wanted me to make, then make them yourself. Not saying something isn't saying that thing.
Also...
airport security will ask to remove the covering in order that they may be identified as the rightful holder of their passport or travel document.
