"First Amendment" - allowing for freedom of expression, speech and religion - but security issue as extremist terrorists are stooping so low as to using women and children to do damage.
Carol2008's post - yes, why is it that when people speak of infringements to human rights in the ME, they're told that if they want to visit / stay / work there, they have to just follow the laws of the country or leave?
Shouldn't the same yardstick apply for those visiting / staying / working in the US? Why the double standards?
Britexpat's suggestion to search the lady in private and then allow her to wear her headscarf - I agree that this would be a good solution - but practically difficult to implement as US will have to go the extra mile to educate / train its personnel to execute that.
It can be done but will this be just a one sided action? I mean, are certain other countries going to reciprocate by being more open and less restrictive, which is an infringement of human rights to freedom? Fight for own rights but don't give rights to others? Arguably, it's the individual fighting for her rights in a foreign land while it's the home country collectively not giving rights to others... but individuals collectively make up the country, no? And question - is she a US citizen? Because then, she might have extra ammunition...
NB: Freedom not to the extent of those twats in Dubai who landed up in the news, of course. I'd say Qatar is quite moderate and fair and should be an example to those other countries.
Re: aka's post - A judge in MY also can and does decide whatever he/she allows as its his/her court room. UK also. For MY, yes, to some (even lawyers, but not me) being kicked out of court by the judge because of their attire. No one files infringement of human rights suits for getting kicked out of court on grounds of their attire. USA has many avenues to lodge complaints and sometimes, that gets abused. No doubt the reason for the many complaint avenues is due to its history but ... freedom has a price. Total liberty is anarchy, isn't it? Need proper checks and balances.
And yes to fairness - let all nuns remove their habit in court too. Why not? Rules applicable across the board. Ease of instruction/communication to personnel and execution.
