The Airport security has a truck which patrols the grounds and whenever they spot seagulls and other birds, will fire shotguns to scare them off, but they never aim directly at the birds for fear of hitting one. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly enough, the gulls protection status supercedes ultimately airline safety. scaring them to prevent being sucked up into the jet engines is OK, but killing them to prevent the same is not.
