Next week I need to pick up my sister from the Manchester, NH airport. If I'm not attempting to cross a security checkpoint is it legal for me to carry concealed (I have a valid NH CCW permit) at the airport?

Does Manchester have secured areas when picking up passengers? My wife always has to wait by the baggage belts. Maybe it's airline I take in? I know out here when I'm in Reno I don't have to go near a security checkpoint if she visits. At least not one that I can see anyway.
MHT depends on the airline, there are 2 baggage areas one to the North end of the terminal for Southwest and USAir- that is on the ground level but folks exit the secure area upstairs, and the South end of the terminal for United/Continental and Delta, folks exit the secure area right by the baggage carousels...
Is there any public airport in the USA which allows people through security/ into the secured areas, without either a boarding pass or a special 'escort/caretaker' pass?drgrant said:You just walk in and meet the person in the "non sterile" half of the airport, just like pretty much every other airport in America.
Last time I picked somebody up at MHT it was a couple of the instructors for the NEShooters "Summit" earlier this year. As soon as their baggage arrived, one of them opened up his bag, removed his gun, loaded it, and put it on. All within plain sight of one of the state police in the terminal. New Hampshire really doesn't care.
