I have no doubt at all that I would not buy anything from someone covered from head to toe. Religion or not it's absurd to me that someone who could be concealing God knows what can go through airport security and fly like that. On one of our trips where the wife unit was selected for the cavity search about a dozen Muslim women covered from head to toe just breezed through security while I was waiting for my 5'4" blonde terrorist wife to clear.

We are insane is all I can say.

That reminds me of a mystery here in my area. I occasionally buy a bottle of adult beverage at a neighborhood liquor store my neighbors and I refer to as "The Iranian Booze shop". The people who run it appear to be from that part of the world. Their women, who only sit behind the counter, never speak or handle the money, all wear long dresses and head coverings. Their face is exposed, but no other flesh. The men dress like me, jeans, etc. They speak very broken English, are always polite and pleasant. I wonder about them as they can't be Muslims and sell booze, can they? I didn't think anyone from that area would be near booze.

I stopped for diesel down in California near where that mosque flap was going on two years ago. The guy behind the counter was obviously Muslim. He was incompetent and kept giving priority to the phone ringing instead of the que of customers lined up in front of him.

I got disgusted and went somewhere else. It was dark, so I didn't really know where I was.
