In fact this is what I was told they were doing at LAX - for awhile. They were checking passengers and luggage hundreds of yards from the Terminals.

My last airplane trip to Denver included declaring my firearm at the ticket counter before checking the baggage. The public area prior to the metal detectors is not a gun free zone at most airports. I haven't flown since 9-11-2001.
