Allowing Muslim girls to wear full-face veils to school could make Dunblane-style massacres more common, a judge suggested. Judge Stephen Silber was hearing a case brought by a 12-year-old Muslim girl against her headmistress's ban on her veil. The judge suggested veils would make it hard to identify intruders in schools, making murderous attacks more likely. In the 1996 Dunblane massacre, Thomas Hamilton, 43, burst into a Scottish primary school and shot dead 16 children and their teacher.
