47 The U.S. Supreme Court has not yet considered whether the Federal Constitution imposes limits on what state constitutions can require when air- port proprietors administer rights that are subject to the First Amendment. But precedent indicates that the purpose and function of a proprietor’s property might be relevant to the Court when examining speech rights and restrictions on the property. The Court considered attributes of the property when deciding whether the California Constitution’s speech requirements infringed on the federal constitutional rights of a private mall owner.344 Forum analysis thus might continue to be relevant to such an examination when consid- ering an airport’s proprietary property. II. SURVEY OF CERTAIN AIRPORT REGULATIONS This section summarizes some aspects of First Amendment requirements at the airports sur- veyed. The survey reviewed relevant First Amendment materials that were available online, including state statutes, state administrative codes, and the airport proprietor’s ordinances or other regulations. In many instances local mate- rials were only available directly from the airport proprietor rather than from online sources. When obtained, those local materials are also noted below. Airports are dynamic environments. Pro- prietors thus may implement their First Amend- ment requirements in a variety of ways, such as through one or more regulations, permits, or con- tracts, or through practices. Some airport proprie- tors may not create written requirements for all circumstances, or they may incorporate some re- quirements into more general regulations that address matters such as permits or administra- tive reviews. Proprietors may also adjust their regulations at times to address changes in the airport’s environment. Under these diverse circumstances, a survey of airport practices cannot provide definitive infor- mation. These summaries are thus presented as examples of how some airport proprietors have addressed issues to offer an overall sense of the types of issues that proprietor’s address and their approaches to providing constitutional access for speech. The survey is not meant to present a com- 344 See Pruneyard, 447 U.S. 74 (examining the cir- cumstances of a shopping mall environment to deter- mine that in this case, the speaker’s state speech rights did not result in a violation of the mall owner’s federal constitutional rights under the First, Fifth, and Four- teenth Amendments). prehensive or recommended set of practices. Due to the general constraints of surveys, these mate- rials may also be outdated at a given airport, and those interested in researching further should obtain copies of materials from the airport in question.
