However I would say that the guidelines and procedures need to be altered. In times of heightened security it just does not sit easy with me that we can have people wander our streets, enter our public buildings, freely access our transport system and such, all in a faceless manner. The niqab/burqa may well have religious roots but they have also been used to conceal the identity when committing a crime.

The veils need to go in my opinion. Therefore I voted No.

Balaclavas have also been used in many a crime, how would we feel if we were unable to wear them by law? Would be a bit odd I think and they dont even have any sort of religious or tradition linked to them. They sell weird balaclavas here on campus, rather odd. Bit scary
very bright colours aswell, much more offensive to the eye than any veil the muslim faith can think up
