Personally I think this is good for public safety. Being able to fully identify someone at all times can only be a good thing and is in the greatest interest of the French people. If I concealed my identity in Britian in a way (other than the Burka) where my face couldn't be seen i would be told to remove whatever I was wearing. Just because some people "choose" to wear the veil is no good reason to avoid public law. From my interpretations of the holy Quran it never says this garment has to be worn. I wish the British politicians would vote for a ban on this garment. A long with it they should ban the balacalava...
Your thoughts?

I think a state dress code is moronic whether it's burkas or balaclavas. I think any security gains are marginal compared to the loss of freedom. I should be able to wear a mask or a hood without having to worry about criminal charges.
I also think that enforced secularism is just as disgusting as enforced religion. These are not matters that the state should be concerning itself with.

If i walked into a bank with a balacala and was wearing totally black clothes, what would you say and what would be the point in even haviong security cameras guarding the area?

Are they only banning burkas in banks, or are you making the argument that all citizens' faces should be clearly visible at all times?
