Though I'm supportive of the basic argument (and would oppose banning other Muslim clothing such as the classical headscarf unless you also forbid Cross pendants or Sikh turbans), I do share theamazingsamurai's concern about security issue - you could, for all intents and purposes perform a bank robbery wearing one without being recognized.
Following the same vein, I actually would argue that Sikhs in the United Kingdom should not be allowed to wear their Kirpan (essentially a small iron dagger) because of religious reasons - unless, of course, you allow everyone to carry bladed weapons for personal self-defense or whatnot.
