A head-band like arrangement, worn just above or below the eyes, mounted with red LEDs which pulsate and scan from side to side, allowing the burqa-wearer to appear to all outsiders as a hi-tech robotic warrior.

       Is this intended to add to the perception that anyone wearing a burqa is carrying a bomb?

       I was hoping for something naughty.

       I thought it would be a spinning led projection of a burka.

       I never know burqa wearers were a separate race,

       I'd say that this targets something cultural, whereas the linked idea targets something racial, or in fact, racializes.

       That's OK then.

       Whoever is offended by this was already offended.
