I'm meeting my fiancee from Russia this September and would like to meet her in the terminal. Is this possible?
My fiancee and I met - appropriately - in an airport last November in Goa, India. She is from Siberia. We touched bases by email and then started getting more serious till I proposed to her on a vacation in Moscow in March. Trust me the story is nothing short of epic, and she is amazing :)
Sooo.. it's not something that I will die without, but I would really like to meet her and her parents and sister in September when they come off the plane, with an arrival either in Houston or Austin (my home city). Is there any way to pull this off?

One other option is to simply buy a ticket departing that day from that airport, meet up in the terminal, and then cancel the ticket. Depending on airline policies, this could be free. Or you might forfeit the value of the ticket. Read the fine print.
It looks like Austin has multiple terminals without an airside connection -- in general, I haven't found that airport staff care too much about whether the ticket is for the correct terminal. But it is something you might want to keep in mind.
As zach-lipton says above, this is probably infeasible if they haven't already cleared customs and been admitted into the U.S.
