Heck, that lady in the accompanying picture wouldn't even be allowed to enter my neighborhood bank.

I'm curious if you would support this in the USA Rod. Seems like a grave infringement of personal liberty by the government to me.

Also, as an aside, it is nice to see that foreign politicians are not immune from spouting out grand lies:

"We cannot allow someone to claim the right to look at others without being seen," said Daniel Bacquelaine, who proposed the bill. "It is necessary that the law forbids the wearing of clothes that totally mask and encloses an individual," he said, adding he was not targeting the classic headscarf worn by many Muslim women."
