So, I guess, if the main doors aren't 30.06 posted you should be OK.

Hobby and IAH are city property and cannot have valid 30.06 postings. I was inside Hobby last weekend and encountered no signs and no problems. I haven't been to IAH for years, but the same should be true there.

As long as you are not in a secure section of the airport - that is past the metal detectors - you are just fine. Carry away.

IAH is the same. I carried there in August.

I carry at both fairly often, No one has tossed me into the clinker yet.

Same interpretation here. I've picked up and dropped off people several times. Just don't go through the security gates. Without a boarding pass, you can't anyway.
