Perhaps you failed to notice my wink at the end of my post. It was intended to be humorous, not to be taken seriously or literally.
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.

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.

Got it. Perhaps I do assume too much knowledge. In fact, My first thought was of the helipad at the White House when I wrote the post, certainly not one open to the public, but I did enjoy the image of Trump going through TSA style security before boarding Marine One.

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

It is yet to be seen whether or not DHS/TSA makes a change using the FLL shooting as at least partial justification.

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

TSA can't do anything about firearms in the lobby anymore than they can do anything about someone smoking a cigarette in one.
Here is a 2015 report from the Airport Council NA summarizing carry rules in various states as they relate to airports. This report seems to be part of a larger presentation and therefore should not be taken as definitive on its own. Having said that, it does indicate that while 6 states absolutely prohibit firearms on airport property, 25 other states also have prohibitions and limits on allowing firearms in the non-sterile areas of the airports. http://www.aci-na.org/sites/default/...-_april_17.pdf. In addition, individual airports may have their own regulations.

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.
