A gun isn't a religious article, and a Bible generally isn't used to directly harm someone.Pretend it's a Bible detector not a gun detector. Now would that be persecution?
Are you offended by traffic laws and stop lights because they treat you like a bad driver? You need to realize that you aren't the only person on this planet, and things like metal detectors and safety measures aren't aimed directly at you, they are in place to accommodate for the members of society who aren't cautious or trustworthy and don't wear a sign saying "I'm a cretin".I am not a bank robber and don't like being treated like one....My main concern is that I am offended by this.
