If there was reason to believe that an individual woman posed a security threat based on intel/surveillance connections to a suspected/known terrorists or the individual's previous writing or actions, etc., I would agree.

ok then it is solved. Intel informs us that this is happening. Men AND women who are known terrorists are using this means to get around the very sophisticated video and other surveillance equipment and personnel used to keep track of them or restrict their movement.

Otherwise, IMO, it is infringing on fundamental rights to practice one's religion as one chooses.

It has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with the war on terrorism.
