Those who call for a ban on face coverings for security reasons, however, are excoriated as bigots and “Islamophobes.” So this kind of thing is going to happen, again and again and again.

“Burqa-wearing man steals nearly $1 million in jewelry from Piaget in Hudson Yards,” by Larry Celona, Khristina Narizhnaya and Olivia Bensimon, New York Post, February 24, 2020:

Piaget, where some watches are so expensive the price is not even displayed online, valued the loss at around $800,600, sources added.
