Airport terminals outside the secured area are not Federal facilities. In Washington, for example, it is perfectly legal to carry concealed or openly outside the security screening point. I've open carried in SEA-TAC airport terminal buildings when picking up or dropping off passengers, perfectly legal and no comments from the police and security officers who have seen me there.That's great.
I thought that the airport terminal was a federal thing though? If the TSA catches someone (even before the actual screening process) wouldn't the state be powerless to do anything?
