Do Muslim Women wear the veil going through the security areas of airports or must they remove them ?

Answer 1

They keep them on as long as they can and sometimes they are asked to remove them, and they do that, but prefer to do it in front of another women and in privacy.

Answer 2

Security/identity checks require that veils be removed. Many countries offer the courtesy of having a female officer make the check.

When applying for a US visa, veiled women must provide a full face photograph with their applications, and must remove the veils to confirm thier identities to the consular officers, whether male or female.

Answer 3

If security areas insisted that veils be removed momentarily i.e. passport checks. Would Muslim women feel happier showing their faces to a female security officer?....
That is if no males could view them.

Answer 4

I have little doubt that this government have arranged some special legislation to exempt these women but according to the law as I understood it you have to be identified at the airport at passport control and security check points. This might be somewhat difficult if your veiled! I await a real answer among the dross that will pour in in answer to your question.

Answer 5

It IS a security issue. As a compromise they should uncover their faces ONLY when going through security areas. I thought it was only hair that had to be covered anyway.

Answer 6

they are supposed to be asked to show there faces by a female or in a private room but as shown in the papers this week that dont always happen

Answer 7
