The state law of preemption also prevents municipalities from banning semi-automatic assault weapons or reducing the number of bullets in a magazine clip from the 30-bullet capacity used by the killer at Virginia Tech.

Seems like it would be easy enough to set up a secure system at the airport.

Sorry, but public safety is a local issue. This is not about civil rights.
