What a shame it is that someone there didn't empty a submachinegun's magazine into the car's passenger compartment...

No, they need the Guard there with a hummer with an M60 on top. Running down a cop at an airport checkpoint is an act of war nowadays, and the entire convoy should have been brought under fire.

And for the bigger airports, a Bradley with its 25mm chain gun would not be out of the question.

It's 'over the top' criminal, I agree.

Makes me wonder what was in the car that they didn't want found.

No, 25mm auto cannon is still too small.. An M119a1 105mm howitzer set for direct fire at the gates would deter gate running.. especially if they actually shoot a vehicle and leave the smoldering carcass of the car sitting next to the gate to show what an HE round can do.
