Can we just remember that the law passed prevents people wearing balaclavas as well....Like the Burka it's my choice to wear it, but is quite rightly not allowed in public places. If I walked into a bank with one on my identity would be hidden just like a Burka. Therefore, I am immeditly a threat to security as if I commited a crime (anywhere) CCTV cameras couldn't instantly find my identity. It is a security issue.....the passed bill specifically says garments....not just to piss off those that CHOOSE to wear the garments.
