Really or is this a joke? So is it for all people with signs or just missionaries? I see people with signs welcoming people home often, I never paid any attention to what it actually says or why. But I don't fly into Utah so is it that much different?

That IS the discussion... it is all new except a large part of it, so is it really a new airport - no. I have this new car, well it is actually an old car but everything is new except the body. The word airport means all parts of the airport, so saying a new airport could be misleading when it is only a new terminal and support buildings. Admittedly a discussion of semantics.
