you are correct imo ,but a complete ban on the burkha brings it's own problems ,what about other suspicious items of clothing such as the aforementioned balaclava or hoody or even a scarf

yes it will ..no effect at all ,bank robbers still wear them to rob banks but anyone wearing a balaclava or a crash helmet in a bank will arouse suspicion (usually) and possibly the cashiers willl set the alarms off so banks would have to adopt this with burkhas .entering a bank with a burkha on and the alarm goes off
