veils means covering only the hair, not the whole face u know.
and if a woman covers her face too, she will have to show it to the officer to check.
in my university, it was forbiden for girls to cover their faces, for security.
Muslim girls are not obliged to cover their faces, but some of them do that as sunna (imitating Prophet mohamed's wife)

Well, we are allowed to lift up the veils for any such purpose as passport checks, driver's licence photos, border crossings, etc. For identity purposes.
Sometimes you can ask if there is a female available to show you her face but if there isn't, in such circumstances, it is okay to show a man your face.

There are female guards who check them in a cornered-off area

A woman passport officer will check. It will be hilarious if there is a man hiding in them.

They are x-rayed
Just kidding, they're taken to those booth things and a female guard takes all their clothes off and makes sure it's all good...
