If there was reason to believe that an individual woman posed a security threat based on intel/surveillance connections to a suspected/known terrorists or the individual's previous writing or actions, etc., I would agree.

But if men posed as women with their faces covered you would not?

Otherwise, IMO, it is infringing on fundamental rights to practice one's religion as one chooses.

As you pointed out, as long as you do it within the framework of the law, sure. Otherwise comply or go to jail. Pretty simple.
