Le Burqa

As of Monday, April 11, the fine for wearing a burqa or niqab in public in France is the equivalent of $190 (cf., $159+ for texting while driving here) and/or public service. There were arrests at a protest on Sunday, and another protest is planned for Monday. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/04/10/france.burqa.ban/?hpt=T2
