Petition Ban headscarves/burquas in airports and areas of high-level security

More details

A Birtish citizen has just raised a serious security issue which many Brits fear could be a serious threat.

Certain groups are walking through airport security without proper facial checks, which could lead to criminals (male and female) exploiting a loophole to evade justice or for more sinister purposes.

I would like to see more serious checks and safeguards put in place, in order to close a potentially dangerous loophole.

I am friends with some muslims, hold nothing against them or their faith personally and am not a racist, just concerned for the security of the public as whole - christians, jewish people and muslims alike.
