I was told my vehicle was subject to "search and seizure" and if anything was found that was considered a threat it would be confiscated.

Had you asked what specific law they were referring to you would have been met with silence followed by something like, "I don't know the specific law, but its there."

You had smoke blown up your nose.

Airports are not areas where your constitutional rights are surrendered.

Even if I let my wife go to meet her and stay behind the security check going directly to the baggage pickup, I still don't know if the Terminal "E" is 30.06 posted or not. If so, it is a long trip back to the parking area.

Unless your daughter is VERY young or disabled in some way, you won't be allowed past security to the gates.

Even I carry at DFW when I go to pick up my wife when she travels, but some will find themselves at security calling for help all be it very few I am sure. If its worth the the chance of being escorted to security and your weapon removed and the time and trouble to get it back for a 15 minutes of not having it on you? Not to me mine will stay in my truck if I get out and enter the terminal you and others may do as you wish I don't care I am just saying that it can be real can of worms if you get made and reported.

Umm, WHAT? Get made? Get reported?

To whom would a person not violating the law be reported?

This is really a simple issue. Unless the airport is not owned by a government and is 30.06 posted, carrying a concealed handgun there is not illegal, wrong, immoral, silly or otherwise capable of causing being escorted to "security and having your weapon removed."

Why on earth would you think this could cause you any more problem than being "made" at your local Albertsons?

There is no "possible" trouble. Unless the airport posts 30.06 concealed carry is not restricted outside of security. Carry inside and avoid the possibility of theft of the gun from the vehicle.

All airports wish you would not carry in the terminals unless traveling and then you have to follow the rules for that. Hard case and locked away.

There is ZERO evidence of that, AND its just not true.
=================================

I worked at DFW airport for 15 years I know they dont like weapons in the airport on the property or in the parking lots and you can bank on that.

Who is "they" and what policy or information is available that shows they these "they" people officially don't like weapons on airport property?
