Airports and District Attorneys Violating Federal Law?

[Greg Jacobs]

It has come to my attention that the airports in Queens County, NY and in Albany, NY, are enforcing new York State laws with respect to innocent travelers.  Apparently, if you board a plane with a legal handgun in your jurisdiction, and have to pass through one of those airports, and have to reclaim and recheck your firearm luggage, you will be arrested and jailed.  If you don't have a NYC permit in Queens or a NYS permit in Albany (they are different, of course), and have a firearm, even if you brought it into NY for some legitimate reason to begin with, you will be arrested and jailed.

Isn't that a violation of the Firearms Owners Protection Act or maybe even the Constitution?  I'm thinking Privileges and Immunities or Equal Protection, not the Second Amendment.
