We live in an era when crimes are common.
We live in an era when terrorism is common.
We obviously can't hurt the sentiments of fellow human being, who belongs to another religion.
But because it is risky, surely there can be additional licensing and inspection charges for anybody wearing garments that completely make them non-descriptive.
And any such license needs to be periodically renewed and displayed on front and back of the garment so that it is captured on cameras should some undesirable event occur...
And every 10 kms or may be 20...such a person needs to be inspected. Which are what the charges are for anyway.

No...i don't think making them wear ID's is the solution. There will be an uproar. Terrorism has got nothing to do with what the terrorist wear. If you see the actual terrorist attack videos..90% of them are wearing normal clothes...if they hide the faces it is with scarfs...not elaborate attires.
We should be more suspicious of peoples activities than what they wear.

@ms1864 I think this discussion has some inkling to recent clown 'phenomena'...

@ms1864 ...sweetie..yes. I have a pedophile living around in our building...he goes and talks to a young child...few days later, the child is raped and killed or missing ...somebody has seen the child...talking to the man, he can describe...or the camera can describe ...if there is one installed.
Now look at somebody wearing a clown's garment or bunny's garments talking to the child. He does it, the child would not be able to tell, others would just treat it as yeah..so what bunny talks to many ...right? Ditto for clowns...

I think it is ridiculous that people don't like the 'burkini'. Let any woman wear whatever the heck she wants when she goes to the beach!

I have no issues with them. But some way to describe and make it easy to identify a person who wears it in case a terrorist chooses to wear such clothes. It is not only burkini. Even clown's garments that make it difficult to identify who is in them, and descriptions are hard.

@vandana7 A terrorist can be wearing any type of clothing, and can be anywhere. I don't like how people are stereotyping what a terrorist 'should' look like.

@MissNikki .. No...I am not saying how they would look. I am asking for something based on which he or she can be identified in cameras, or described by witnesses. It is not only terrorists. There can be rapists, or pedophiles or kidnappers...who can wear something that covers them completely. It is fine. But let them add identification number.

Not sure about inspection, but the identification should be there. Even for the girls and not-girls who tie scarf all the time due to 'pollution' (even in parks).... I feel uncomfortable.

Terrorism is common! That is disturbing because it becoming true. I hope the world will return to innocence some day. Legal street type protests came into question too when people decided to wear masks to hide identity. And what about those police helmets complete with face guards? Shouldn't they require inspection in case they become part of the criminal element? Religion might have little to do with this.

Fake face mask alone would be enough to disguise a terrorist. How can we be able to add ID's to that?

@vandana7 I am talking about the mask, the make up mask which actually changes the features of a human's face to resemble another person.

I doubt that criminals that would wear these garments to hide weaponry would bother with getting licensed. It wouldn't be feasible for the police in any country be made to check anyone wearing any questionable bit of clothing, plus some just wear those to cover up and hide weight on their bodies they're not comfortable with.

Wow, that seems very labor-intensive--where are all these security inspectors going to come from, and who will pay them? Also, this would most likely lead to unfair discrimination, like the "stop and frisk" policies in the US, which unfairly targeted minorities.
