Airports here in the U.S. have signs posted prior to the security screening stations which state that persons refusing to be screened will not be allowed past the security point. It doesn't say they will be arrested or harrassed or singled out. Simply that they won't be allowed past security. It's their option and their choice to make.
This is as good an example as one could make of a 12th century culture in a 21st century world trying to force the majority's calendar back to meet the standards and demands of a minority.
There might not be as large a need to be as security conscious as we have to be these days if fanatics and zealots of a certain minority culture were not so resolved to visit indescriminate violence on the public at large.
Perhaps a more appropriate form of transportation for those who do not wish to violate their religious laws could be made available. I might just go into the camel business...
To paraphrase the sage words of Triumph, the comic dog, 'I poop on your silly laws!'
