In 1992 the Supreme Court ruled that the Hare Khrisnas had a First Amendment right to distribute literature at the New York airports. Despite these two decisions, the Tampa International Airport completely banned all literature distribution within its terminal for nine years. After Liberty Counsel filed suit on behalf of Jews For Jesus, the Tampa Airport repealed its unconstitutional policy and adopted a new one which allowed the distribution of literature. Recently the Tampa Airport paid the litigation cost of Liberty Counsel as a result of its unconstitutional policy. Airports are not speech free zones.
Many airports are like small cities.
