In Hong Kong airport, the roving tactical patrols have mp5s with aimpoints.
It was pretty common as far back as 1980 for overseas security personnel to carry some pretty heavy ordnance. I assume most of them are even better armed today.
Off topic but I find it curious that one of them is only identified as "POLICE" (in English) without even the oriental designator above it like his partner.
Is it just me or hasn't anybody gone to a major US airport lately? I'm pretty sure you can now find a patrol or two that looks pretty much like those guys in the pic.
I don't think a Star Trek phaser could ever work in real life. How do they not ever get stun and kill mixed up?

The likelihood of someone coming into an airport and shooting up the place is unlikely.
