Reader comment on item: Niqab Security Outrages at Airports

Submitted by Regina1959 (United States), Aug 8, 2010 at 16:07

Airport security should be tight. I agree if we as Canadians or Americans travelling have to reveal our faces and other forms of identiy so should they. It is for the safety of all passengers regardless of your religious beliefs or non-beliefs. It is discrimination to just check out those that are not wearing those niqabs. There is nothing wrong with showing your face, it is a sign of your soul. These women are living in the stone age and should be allowed to at least have their faces shown going through security.
