That may be your own personal justification, but as I noted before, this guy wants to ban them everywhere. We don't ban helmets everywhere; in fact, in some places it is illegal *not* to wear one. Still, the question of whether helmets, balaclavas, and burkas should be banned needs addressing. I'm personally against it, for the simple reason that it doesn't actually do
anything. Banning people from wearing a burka in a bank is like banning people from taking a gun into a bank. If you do that, then the only people who will ignore the ban are criminals, and they were the people who the law was aimed at. Banning something which criminals use to commit crimes
ensures that only criminals will have it. It does absolutely nothing. It is a waste of a law.

Which is a ridiculous conclusion to make. By all means, if someone comes into a bank with a face covering, take caution. Have security on alert (as if they should ever not be), but wait until something happens before accusing the person of being a criminal. Maybe they just want to take some money out, as an honest customer. It is far more likely that they are not a criminal (criminals make up a very small percentage of the population), so stop treating them like one.
