to the burquini. Also could apply to Catholic nuns, many Amish women, and people who are sun-sensitive or modest.

Thanks to DUer rug:

The real reason is Isis has requested Its murderers to blow up people on the beaches.. If you have a burka on an full clothing at the beach I want to know if you are hiding a bomb.....

4. And if she DID have a bomb?

If those officers really believed there might be a bomb, the strategy is to walk right up to her?! Oh, FFS...

This is about appeasing some of their citizens with some useless optics.

Oh and of course who doesn't enjoy the added bonus of publically controlling and ridiculing a woman.

This is horrible. I know the French have been traumatized by a string of Muslim terrorist attacks. But this is basically becoming the enemy.
