Well, my religious traditions prompt me to wear a gun on me at all times. Preventing me from doing so ( be it in airport or white house) is a gross violation of my god-given rights and leaves me deeply offended. Too bad I live in a society and I must compromise some of my own traditions/whims if they are detrimental to safety of others.
