It's like saying football fans tried to take advantage of Hillsborough
by demanding safe stadiums, or that US congressmen took advantage of September 11th
by arguing for
air marshalls on planes.
Often, law enforcement at an international airport is provided
by a county sheriff or municipal police department in addition to the TSA (including
air marshalls) which has narrower jurisdiction, in contrast to places like Indian Reservations and federal parks, which while within a state are outside state and local law enforcement jurisdiction (although the assimilative crimes act applies state law in many such circumstances).
