It's not just those who try to actively disrupt the contempation of the silence seekers, but anyone who wants to go about their normal public activities. If the moment of silence is in a very specific area for a short time anyone else should in most cases have enough respect for the wishes of others to be silent or leave. Even if the moment is protracted or over to large of area and thus actually becomes intrusive to "normal public activities", it really isn't a religious freedom issue. If for example there was a government mandated moment of silence for an hour over all of Fairfax County tomorrow, I would be strongly against it as a government overreach that borders on totalitarian but it really wouldn't be a religious freedom issue.
