Cover Me...

Now I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or a condescending bastard here, I'm actually curious. If you're an Islamic woman who wears full cover (head and face wrapped in scarves), how do you get your passport photo taken? I'm just picturing these thousands of passports with the same picture, and that poor guy at the airport trying to identify everyone's eyes.

Although, if you were a secret ninja assassin, with a mission in Pakistan, it'd be perfect. You'd fit right in. You wouldn't even need a disguise.

Ok, that was pretty smart-assed.

i happened to be at the passport office last week and was wondering the very same thing when i saw a one such woman in line to get her pic taken in a huge hall with 200 others... well guess what... they have a 'shower curtain' there for such occasions…. And once the curtain is drawn ( which btw was almost sheer), off come the scarf! …. airline industry is privileged ..

Acha. If they are uncovered for their photo, I wonder if they hang a little curtain over the picture in their passport. That would be cool.
