Hmm... I don't know.

On the one hand, her religion says that women must be veiled in public, and that should be respected. An Orthodox Jewish man, for instance, probably wouldn't be asked to remove his yarmulke or his hat for an ID photo.

On the other hand, it could be anyone under that veil. You can't see hair color, you can barely see skin color. You can tell a veiled woman's height, but not necessarily her weight. So it isn't a good form of identification.

I did find it interesting that her ID photo (with veil) was only challenged after 9/11.

And I have heard somewhere that Muslim women aren't supposed to drive anyway. Not sure if that's true or not... I don't recall the source.
