It was not like the lady was being asked to discard the veil forever. She was asked to raise it for the sake of national identification.
Anyway, covering faces is the easiest way to conduct some anti-social activity and escape. As seen in Syria, the veil is a convenient escape disguise for wanted militants and threats. This is not because it is Islamic but because:
1- It is a loose veil with no contours visible. Which means a lean terrorist could wear it and run away using the garb of a 'mute conservative woman'.
2- Eyes alone are no form of identification unless of course countries can make iris scan mandatory.
Small IEDs and weapons can be easily concealed under the veil.
