And you get searched in the public airport

I don't. Unless I am preparing to board a private plane.

I go to the airport all the time without going through security. They even have a decent resturant there. I don't get searched unless I have a boarding pass and am proceeding to a gate. The gates are private property, leased by the individual airlines.

You're not searched at the gates, either.

Try again.

I think you're (mis)interpreting the fact that the subway is a "public accommodation" to mean that you have an absolute right to use it. (Airplanes are "public accommodations", too, by the way.)

Go back and have a look at the .pdf I linked to as (from my brief scan of the TOC) it appears to discuss case law with respect to transportation-related issues.

I may look at it tonight if my wife and kids don't have too much loaded on my plate.
