A clarifying question about power to ask is "who shows up if I call 911?"
A better question to ask is "who shoots at me, if it comes to that?"
The distinguishing power of State is violence:

"Don't be fooled by the Auntie Anne’s Pretzels (in every terminal!) and many global languages you’ll hear, this is sovereign territory under the rule of a serious government."
Not pictured: the Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety officer who declined to be photographed
("We don't allow photographs", and "turn around and go to your gate, right now")

Some people get to own a car.
Some people get to own a home.
Some people get to own a semi-autonomous body charged with governing DFW International Airport.
Keep reading, and learn how faithful Mormons are like the Taliban in the ways that matter (for government:)
