Comment: Funny.  If I'm ever on the run from the law, I won't be shaving.

A veil is thin and doesn't strap to the chin like a hockey, dust or surgeon's mask.  It muffles communication way less than any of those, and polite conversation on the bus is less critical than in any of those other situations.

You what won't be polite?  The skinhead on the bus who thinks a law like this gives him sanction to sound off on a visible minority.
