In addition, while some jurisdictions allow one-party consent others require two-party consent to record audio. In practice, it is VERY difficult to take video with a phone without also capturing audio. This has led to persons being being arrested and the recording device impounded for videotaping a law enforcement officer doing something illegal.
i think that LEO in a public place = you can record both video and audio in any state in the USA
don't confuse wire tapping / surveillance cameras / secret recordings with a public place, LEO, and holding a camera in your hand
now whether an airport is considered a public place, i am not sure but regardless, pretty sure you can record the police
correct me if i am wrong though, i won't take offense
also might be a good time to check your device to make sure that its automatically uploading a copy of the video in case your device magically disappears, gets destroyed, impounded, etc
if you can please post some recent cases of a private person arrested for recording a LEO and charges upheld, please do share
