Burqa Ladies

When we left India to go to Thailand (see post below) there was an interesting observation I made at the immigration counter.  There were two ladies who were in complete burqas that covered their face down to their feet.  I asked our immigration officer how they deal with burqas.  The immigration lady said with a laugh, "We need to figure that out still."  They just let them go right on through without matching their passport to their face.  I immediately thought about how easy it would be to traffick people to other countries.  It also seems like a security violation.  And an easy way for criminals to leave the country.
