#1 France should pass a law that says that all prostitutes must wear the veil when working the street. That should cause a change in things.

#3 A woman 'religious' enough to be wearing the niqab ought not to be driving or out by herself anyway.

#4 crosspatch: Now that's an idea. You must be channeling the spirit of Benjamin Butler.

Bitterly derided in the South, much like W.T. Sherman, Butler was a big city machine expert, and was put in charge of the military occupation of New Orleans. The locals decided to be pestiferous toward the Union Army, so Butler's response:

"Most notorious was Butler's General Order No. 28 of May 15, issued after some provocation, that if any woman should insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded and shall be held liable to be treated as a 'woman of the town plying her avocation', i.e., a prostitute."

However, despite their bitter hatred of "Beast Butler", it should be noted that, "In the administration of that city he showed great firmness and severity. New Orleans was unusually healthy and orderly during the Butler regime."

How unlike modern New Orleans.
