Once Again.... If You Don't Like France...

Reckon you could pick this guy out from a lineup?

I think that I'd have better odds of id'ing that one there than I would with some full face veiled female.

Not the question. You'd have a better chance with a full faced veil than if they had a dustbin on their head. The point is, could you pick the guy out of a lineup. The answer is no. And that's a full face well focused closeup. From a grainy CCTV or fleeting glance? No chance. The point being that even were the niqub banned in the UK (i'm assuming its not yet banned in the US?) it is easy to don a perfectly effective face concealment which will do basically the same job (to prevent confident identification), attract LESS attention and be easier to acquire.

Maybe the objection to ski masks is an absurd one because the -insistence- upon ski masks is absurd? That ever occur to anyone on the pro ski mask side of this? I have a baddass balaclava gas mask/optics/comms combo. I don't wear it into the bank or while I'm walking down main street - but is anyone here willing to argue that I should be able to?

I think it should be up to the bank whether you wear it into the bank and up to you if you wear it into the main street. Ditto Shades and a hoodie, dust masks (see a lot of cyclists wearing them in cities), paper bag with two holes cut in it or a goose.


You wanna ban these?
