This isn't why she isn't shaking his hand and I think that is really obvious. Shaking hands is a greeting to men traditionally as a sign of being equal to one another, and muslims still follow the tradition that men are the greater sex. I think she's being quite respectful to the police officer considering, and treating him the same she'd treat any other man. Good on her I say.
And Jambutty, since when has it been a 'rule' to shake hands? I met Lolly on the bus yesterday and I didn't feel compelled to shake her hand, even though thats typically what you do when you meet someone for the first time. Don't be such a dimwit.
