    nope, you still can visually tell who it is

    it's kinda like Trump written response to Mueller's questions, no way to know if it's his responses or his lawyers

    if you have 5 people next to each other all wearing black ski masks, it's not easy to tell them apart

    If you are identified prior to sitting down by the Sargent at arms EVERYONE knows who you are

    Your preferences are not compelling interest

    I also believe if one wants to drive they have to have a face photo and show the face to officers upon request

    I agree. The compelling interest is public safety

    again, the constitution does not say you can go into a court room or any government area with your face covered, anonymity is not a right in places like court rooms, ect...

    in fact in some instances I would consider them a threat that needed to be neutralized immediately and then sorted out, if no one can see your hands or face, you may be considered a potential threat until confirmed otherwise

    heck, you do not even have a second amendment right in a court room, try to take a gun to court and see where it gets you - same with taking on a airplane

    In this case if they are cleared by the Sargent at arms and identified and have passed all the appropriate checks I do not see compelling interest

    so people can see who is talking, see their facial expressions, ect.... plenty of reason not to allow people to hide their identity

    I am 100% for allowing head scarfs and beanies, but not full face covering outfits

    I would not even allow them into building with face coverings, even ski masks in the winter, remove them then you can enter - it's a security risk

    So far the only reason you have given is it makes you uncomfortable. If they do not pose a threat per the Sargent at arms then your comfort is not compelling interest

    exactly, the far Christian right is more a threat to religious freedom then our Muslim leaders

    they do not verify every human that enters the building at the door

    and if someone sneaks in, you would lose them and not be able to tell one from the other as they would all be anonymous

    And it won't be pretty.

    The Sargent at arms identifies everyone on the floor of the chamber

    I am not a Jewish, Christian or Muslim, no stone throwing in my beliefs

    why would a good God ever tell people to stone people for working in the yard picking up sticks on a Sunday?
