I guess it doen't matter where it happens in Florida.Both areas of the airport are off limit to law abiding citizens carryings guns, so the government (state or federal) is responsible for their safety.

Although I have to give credit to the airline workers in Lauderdale, Ft Meyers and Tampa. They get so many passengers checking guns in checked baggage that it's no big deal. It's been a piece of cake every time.

Police look pretty relaxed now at the garage, so maybe there was no threat there, or there is no longer a threat. Sheriff's chopper landed on the garage roof.

My daughter and son-in-law and his family have been leaving that area all week after a gathering. Some of them are on the tarmac waiting for buses to take them to "safety". They were on the floor above where the shooter attacked.
