Beg to differ. I fly on a regular basis and whilst one sees large numbers of troops in transit, you will not see them carrying weapons of any kind, since all such are banned from airport property. A small number of security personnel or TSA agents fall under a different category and are armed but you are unlikely to see them waving guns around. Only on the occasion of a high risk alert will you see armed national guards at airports.
