Banks and Post Office's?

Question

When a dispatch rider enters a Bank he has to remove his bike lid.
Why then can Muslim women enter without having to remove head coverings?
Anybody could use a simular guise to commit an armed robbery so why take a chance.
Equal rights should apply to everybody.
Who agrees?

I think that it is considered discriminatory to have different rules for different people.
Everyone should be treated the same.
Go to the middle east and see how they bend over backwards to give you equal rights. Don't hold your breath.

Answer 1

Some are allowed to keep covered for driving license photos. You just try that pal and see how far you get. They also do not have to remove them at Customs Control. No wonder we are such a soft touch to everything.

Answer 2

I understand what you mean, but.... on the other hand, first look at statistics - how many people rob banks with something like a bike helmet on, and how many do the same with religious head coverings?

Second... it can be considered discriminatory against the Islamic religion. Head coverings are not just decoration for these women. They are a vital part of their religious views.

Also, I'm not sure I agree with forcing people to remove their helmets or lift their lids (except... this /does/ make it easier to communicate) anyway. Criminals will do what they want no matter what, and the innocent will just have another right taken away. Are criminals intent on a robbing a bank /really/ going to uncover themselves anyway? No. Are innocent people already in some sort of covering going to suddenly get a wild hair to rob a bank thinking they'll get away with it because they're in disguise? No. Useless legistation.
