Well, from the OP the road was =on= the airport.

Jose is correct - the road I was on was inside the fenced, gated
area of the airport. There are city streets on three sides of the
airport that are outside of the fence, but that wasn't where I was.

Agreed. But in our case we have minimum wage security personnel coming
=outside= airport security fences and harassing people parking on the
easement of a 4 lane highway, just because they want to safely park
and watch the jets land. It was a well used area pre 911, and you
could often see entire families there, admiring the big aircraft as
they landed.

That's a whole different ball of poo then. I'd ask the rent a cop why he
thinks he has any jurisdiction outside of the airport grounds. Now parking
beside a 4 lane highway may be a problem in your area but other than
that...

It's city owned property. To the best of my knowledge, if they ask you to
leave for ANY reason, and you refuse to leave, it's trespassing. They are
just using a post 911 security rational to restrict an area that has never
been restricted before.
