WORLDVIEWS | In that country, the simple act of not covering your head can be political, intentionally or not.
For reasons that are less than obvious Arab culture requires women to walk around with a sack over their head.  Apparently their libido is so sensitive it goes all haywire if it sees female hair.  It is a screwy requirement and I don't blame her for ignoring it.  Unfortunately, very few women can get away with it in Saudi Arabia without fear of being locked up by the sex cops.
