You can't compare the airport to your house. The airport is a public place.

But the planes aren't ... they're reserved for people who purchased tickets ... and who wish to travel peaceably.

The airlines themselves once provided security for their own planes ... but now government agents do it for them.

There's nothing "public" about getting on a plane.
