There's a decent sized Muslim population here in Orlando, and every once in awhile I see women in full burqas while out and about. While it may not be required perse in Islam, I can't see banning it either. Not all of these women who are wearing the burqas fall under the "oppressed" Taliban-type system.
Besides, I have a feeling this has less to do with "safety" issues than it does a general anti-Muslim sentiment which seems to be sweeping Europe. If you may recall, there was a big flare-up recently about France banning Muslim headscarfs. I also tend to recall reading about other attempts to restrict Muslims in various European countries.
