Actually...
In the U.S., there's a few states that Mandate I.D. w/o any head coverings at all, regardless of Religious affiliation..
Muslims, Sikh's, catholics, Jews are disputing this..
Passports permit head coverings, why not state I.D.?

In Most airports in the U.S., the only procedure a muslim lady doesn't receive is a Cavity check..
I'll happily describe my experiences with Airlines, post- 9/11...My brothers as well...pvt. only.
In Puerto Rico however, once I said I refused to allow a Man touching me in any way, they accommodated me, with a woman..lol {should be Policy, especially if the woman's muttaqun {Pious}}
