I have my doubts, but if true, why wouldn't those in charge clear that out? A few SWAT officers with M-16's could do that in about 30 seconds. Then maybe a flight out of Florida?
"ORLANDO, Fla. —

Authorities at Orlando International Airport are struggling to deal with rising numbers of homeless people arriving at the airport, seeking the air conditioning, restrooms and other amenities offered to passengers and patrons.

This year, 50 million passengers will board flights or land at Orlando International Airport, spending little time in the terminal. But others are making their airport their "home." They're people who live on the streets of Central Florida, and instead of seeking shelters, they try to blend in with travelers."

Over three years old but probably still accurate.
