someone posted on that group why don't you let female officers do the identifying of muslim women instead? it will make everyone happy.
so? why not?
even if you can't do that, it's allowed for those of the opinion that niqab (burqah) is an obligation on women that you can take it off when deemed necessary, for example their passport/ID pictures (no one in Saudi Arabia - they're of the opinion that niqab is a must for women - has an id picture with their niqab on) , when there are police check ups etc...
ban the bikini day.
Are you gay? would you have woman go around in over-sized cardigans instead???
I think Ban it (the Burqa) as it comes from a time wear woman had little or no rights, its a medieval thing. If a person wears it in a non-Muslim country they will not assimilate into the society of that country well, it promotes them to stay within their own communities and to not fully embrace the culture of their new country. (i mention this as its happening in Australia, which even though has many Muslims, i think it is a secular country).
you'd have a man ogle at your mom, sister, wife, relatives etc...?
or do you like ogling at your mom, sister, (i'd ogle my wife when I have one of course

), relatives etc...
