Hell, I'm sure we could even arrange for a Muslim female customs officer, if there isn't already, if it has to be for some religious reason.
There's ways to fix this that don't involve allowing certain citizens/visitors a free pass, nor disrespecting their religious beliefs.

AFAIK they are way ahead of you and those guidelines are in place. A female officer is supposed to bring the woman into a private room and have her remove her veil.
THe problem is that some passengers who are of the muslim faith and wear facial coverings have decided to use scare tactics, threatening lawsuits and such, to get right by the screening process.
