Dutch MP Questions Veiled Women and Airport Security

August 16 2010

Camiel Eurlings, the Dutch Caretaker Transport Minister, questions whether Muslim women are able to pass through airline security systems in the Netherlands without removing their veils. While passengers and airport personnel say sometimes women are not asked to show their faces at customs, the Dutch police responsible for airport security deny the claims and explain that women are asked to remove their veils in a private room, in the presence of a female officer.
