A Fcontinuation, of sorts, of this post.
I believe that it was thoroughly unreasonable of the Nashville Airport cops and SWA to insist that passengers whse flights were canceled leave the secure area.
This is why:
I've been in a few airports in my time. They all have one thing in common: Most of the retail operations, restaurants, bars, clothing, toiletries, books, pillows, travel blankets, etc., are in the secure areas of the airports. They are the places that stranded travelers need. The non-secure side, where the baggage check and baggage claim areas are, may have something along the nature of a row of vening machines to a coffee shop, primarily to sell to people who are waiting for incoming passengers. The operations in the non-secure side have very little of what a stranded traveler may need.
Pushing the stranded travelers out of the secure area was a rank display of inhospitability and a demonstrantion of uncaring, if not inhumanity.
Which may be typical of Nashville. I don't know, I've never been there and I'm less likely to.
(So much for that fabled Southern hopsitality.)

While Southwest still sucks, I am told that the police decided to clear out the folks who had cancelled flights due to violence and threats against the Southwest staff.
Might be true, might not, I have no way to verify. But the source is generally correct....
If I'm reading it correctly a quick look at the passenger terminal at BNA (map.flynashville.com) shows the vast majority of the food service is on the secure side of the security check points. Looks like a Green Beans Coffee Co. location is behind the SWA counter Concourse D Level 3 that may be on the public side of security.
