Stewardess's Bible Banned on Saudi Flights

This is definitely a hard case. A woman working for BMI - a western airline - is being banned from bringing her bible on flights which touch down in Saudi Arabia due to local law there.

A spokesman from the airline said: "We issue advice to all our staff and passengers that these are the guidelines.
"She is saying she wants to carry her bible with her. We are saying we can't start designing rules around individuals when we've got several hundred members of staff. To take every personal preference into account would be impossible."
On its web site the Foreign Office says of Saudi Arabia: "The importation and use of narcotics, alcohol, pork products and religious books, apart from the Koran, and artefacts are forbidden."
BMI said it offered the stewardess the opportunity to transfer from long-haul duties to short-haul, but she refused.

It is always a balancing act between the laws of a home country, and the laws of a host country. But it seems like there should be a more logical middle ground here!
