Limmer“True, the principal purpose of the airport is to move people from one place to another via airplane; but the court must look beyond “principal” purposes to determine whether or not an area is a “public” forum. “Streets” are primarily designed to assist the movement of traffic and people, but they are proper First Amendment forums.”
