[at-l] hiking poles

You know, I so totally agree with this to a certain point.
There is a need for some security so someone doesn't just walk on with a
gun.

But you are totally right, if they are fanatical, nothing will stop them in
the end.
You may deter it once or twice, but in the end that fanaticism will win out
and a way will be found.
