Try to note the key differences between a niqab and a jacket.
metal detectors dont always detect bombs by the way. just so you know about that. it depends on the bombs materials and they arent always metal.
i said might, as it maybe and maybe not. i havent seen a redneck jihadist ever but who knows maybe you will be the first.
the niqab, while mostly used a female garment can also be used by men. there are no magical rules preventing men from using it to conceal their identities. it doesnt have any mystical power preventing men from putting it on, so we can use both sexes in this case. and women can also be terrorists, its just way rarer.
i can agree sikhs are mostly peaceful as well as Muslims, but the very few muslims that arent, can cause issues when they are given freedoms like their ability to wear facial covering clothing.
maybe as a compromise they can simply show their face while in a public building/school/bank/in public areas?
