In European countries, don't they make a lot more use of CCD cameras and facial recognition software to track people? Might this be more a national security issue than a religious freedom issue?
It'll be interesting to see what the EU Human Rights courts do about this. They recently ruled that internet use is a fundamental human right... I don't think France's ban stands much of a chance.
