Just sayin'

It would be deemed suspicious. Rightly so. Nobody wears a ski mask in the day in Summer, unless they're skiing.

The two are not analogous.

How would it be seen if a woman walked into a bank wearing a snood, in the middle of winter? Or if an elderly lady walked into a bank wearing a hat with a veil? Hundred years ago it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, because veiled hats were quite common. Go to a funeral and you still see them.

The whole thing is riduclous. It's grossly illiberal.
