SIR - An alleged unsuccessful suicide bomber fled across London dressed as a veiled Muslim woman.

Meanwhile, Mrs Patel (January 15) "only" asks that at any security checkpoint a women is brought so she can show her face. The rest of us can just stand in the queue and wait while this happens.

Why do we hear so many demands for special treatment from one small minority group? I look forward to a total ban on veils throughout the European Union.
