  1. You would have to remove the front so your face is visible.  

    The head cover will be tested.  Though if the test results alarm, you will have to go through additional screening.  At this point you will be offered a private screening, or you can request for one.  At this point, you and 2 other female officers will go to a private screening room where you will be hand wanded and pat down.  You will have to remove your head wear so the officers can inspect it as well as inspect your hair.  Once all this is cleared, you can put the burkha back on and will now be allowed to access the gate area.


  2. I don't know.

    What does a burka wearer do if they are out, and they get hungry?  Do they eat under the burka? Or do they wait till they get home?

  3. They take the face cover off but not the whole head scarf, if the head scarf is needed to be taken off they have to do it in front of another woman.
