By the way, reading another report on this robbery, it would appear the robbers aren't very bright -

Staff let the pair through the security double doors of the banking branch of the postal office on Saturday, believing them to be veil-wearing Muslim women, before they flipped back their head coverings and pulled out a gun, officials said

btw, whilst I don't support the wearing of the burqa, I also don't support a blanket ban (because if we did that, shouldn't we also have a blanket ban on anything that covers the head and face, such as wearing hoods up and a scarf across the lower face in cold weather, fancy dress masks, etc etc?).
I do, however, think they should be subject to the same strictures as crash helmets, hoodies, etc, in banks.
