No, I saw the wink. But what you know with a nod and a wink, many if not most others reading might not know that there is no general aviation helicopter traffic permitted within DC and the heliports are pretty much pointless. Heck, even the MPD helicopter needs special permissions to ride around the city.... I just wanted to make sure the general public knew about the situation.

I wondered if I should have revised/clarified my comment with an "outside of a amendment to the Constipation the states cant....". It would have helped.

The Constitution doesn't 'grant' or 'recognize' rights, either. It merely prohibits the government from denying or abridging individual rights. It lists some of the most important ones, and then it states (importantly enough that it gets its own separate Amendment) “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

I would say that considering how long it's been, without any massive announcement or policy change, we can deduce that the TSA won't do much in response to the FLL shooting

Old incidents sometimes come up as a way to try to justify what a party wants to pursue anyway possible. Time will tell.

This whole topic is silly. Except for in 7 states and the District of Columbia, open carry / concealed carry is legal in the public side of all airports. Baggage claim, ticket counter, welcome lobby, wherever. The only place firearms can't go is past security. TSA can't do anything about firearms in the lobby anymore than they can do anything about someone smoking a cigarette in one.
However, as noted in the response above, it is not TSA that would enforce those laws/regulations but an agency having jurisdiction, (generally, the local airport police). If a TSA employee were to notice someone possessing a firearm on airport property s/he would certainly be expected 9possibly required) to bring that information to the attention of the appropriate LEA.
