I. Whether a _ public airport authority’s reservation of a right to disapprove an “application for protest” upon an applicant’s ability to “demonstrate adequate financial capacity or responsibility to undertake the proposed use” or alternatively upon an applicant’s ability to “obtain a bond or insurance in a type and amount required by ; the Authority for the proposed use,” provides a “reasonably specific and objective” standard : for approval of such applications, as required by Thomas v. Chicago Park Dist., 534 U.S. 316, 324, 122 S.Ct. 775, 781, 151 L.Ed.2d 783 (2002).
