The other option would be to have the ability to stop those individuals whose face is covered them and keeping within their religious practice search or inspect them veil uncovered.

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.

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