Why not allow all spectators at college or professional sports events to bring guns into the stadium in case of a terror attack? Just imagine 50,000 armed spectators fueled up on testosterone and beer? How would these games end?
Probably the best answer for the airport situation is NOT to allow any guns to be shipped - for any reason.

First of all that's ridiculous from the standpoint of denying people the right to have their property transported.
Secondly, it would do any good. A criminal with a gun can simply enter the airport terminal area and commit the same crime.
Your description of 50 wannabe John Waynes is cute but is really pretty insulting to responsible law abiding gun owners. It's absurd to say that everyone will start blasting away at everyone holding a gun.
A good guy with a gun or multiple good guys with guns probably would have saved lives in this event. If guns were allowed in this area it's very possible that this guy and many others would never have tried this. It's also highly probably that if he did pull out his gun and start to shoot there would have been far fewer victims.
And yes....the answer is to allow all licensed conceal carry holders to bring their guns anywhere.
If you notice, almost every one of these mass shootings takes place in a so called gun free zone otherwise known as a safe target rich environment for murderers.
