Soon after 9/11, KCPD was searching EVERY car that parked in short term parking at MCI. They asked me to pop my trunk, found my Glock 21, and confiscated it simply because I couldn't provide proof of ownership on the spot. Took me 6 months to get it back.

I think you are referring to Burns Security, because I had to pick a friend up every three weeks at KCI I had SEVERAL run ins with them. At the time a good friend of mine was in charge of KCI Airport Division Police unit,
I pull in to short term parking (the first time I encountered them)
The Rent-A-Cop walks up and states “I have to search your vehicle”
I ask him “On what grounds?”
He states “911”
I ask him “Where’s your Warrant?”
He states “I don’t need a Warrant for Private Property!”
I then inform him that “Since when did the KCI Airport that belongs to the City of Kansas City, MO and was paid for by the Public become “Private Property”?”
I then tell him “I think you better get your Supervisor out here NOW!”
Well his boss shows up and goes through the same shit.
I inform his boss I’m calling Richard the head of the KCI Police unit, he then states “You can’t reach him, he’s off today”
Well, then I guess I’ll just have to call him at home then wont I.
I call Richard and he tells me he’s warned Airport management that they are violating the hell out of people’s rights and the $8.00 an hour, untrained idiots doing their 20 second “search” is worthless.
So I go ahead and let the the knuckle dragger do his “search”
Fast forward a few months, my oldest son and I are at Pideon Hill blasting away with a few of the Machine Guns, my son looks at his watch and says “Aren’t you supposed to pick Mike up?”
SHIT!
Throw everything in the back of the Suburban and head to the Airport.
Of course, Burns Security is there keeping the World safe from the bad ass terrorists.
They walk up and say, we have to search your vehicle!
I put on my best grin and say........SURE!
He opens the back doors and there are several automatic weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammo, and a bunch of loaded magazines.
His jaw drops.....
And i then inform him, “Yep, they’re Registered Machine Guns.”
He doesn’t have a clue what the fuck to do and finally because vehicles are stacking up motions me on.
I send my son in to meet my friend.
Yep, keeping the World safe.
My wife everytime she was with me would say “PLEASE, don’t screw with Security AGAIN!”
But of course, I HAD to.
