Sorry, tough to get enthused about airport police. In my metropolitan area, airport police are on about the same competency level as those assigned to prisoner processing. In other words, the dregs of the police force.

I prosecuted two prisoner processing officers in a bench trial on misdemeanor assault charges. A prisoner in their custody died after these two officers allegedly roughed him up when he was in the middle of what appeared to be an acute cocaine intoxication episode (highly elevated body temperature, profuse sweating, incoherence, rapid heart rate, death). The judge, a former assistant prosecuting attorney, who heard the case acquitted the two prisoner processing officers and noted that prisoner processing has been a pit and dumping ground for the lower rung for years.

The long and short of it is that many airport police are not the best and brightest. This sort of training may very well be lost on many, if not most, airport police.
