Having been robbed twice (once at gunpoint) in my business experiences, I think that allowing folks to wear a mask in a store, bank, or other place where money is concentrated is not a good idea.
The Supreme Court has ruled that no one here has any reasonable expectation of privacy while they are in public. I think that's a sensible ruling. It seems to me obvious that flowing from that ruling is that hiding one's identity while in public is not protected religious expression.
