Since people have been complaining about unfair downvoting lately, I'll give an explanation of why I downvoted your comment:

The article itself says that the customs agent "suggested that I had used the burqa in order to move undetected throughout the tribal regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan". Seeing as he is not a Muslim and wouldn't have one for religious reasons, that does seem like it might be a fair question.

that does not explain why the terrorist would then try to introduce the burqa to the US, so the whole theory is rather pointless. seeing where he travelled to, it would be quite logical to assume the burqa is just a case of a tourist bringing home a souvenir.

I'm not going to pretend that I am qualified to judge this, I just wanted to point out that the article did offer an explanation.
