Are places like airports and movie theaters "first amendment free zones"?

I was wondering because in these places and others you can't say certain things like "bomb" or "fire".It's like they take away your freedom of speech.

i think it is because the protection of freedom of speech is to protect your right to voice your opinion, besides, in the constitution there is supposed to be a balance between "individual rights" and "the common good" so its not that they are taking away your freedom of speech, it is that saying something like that is not protected by the first amendment.

Your right to free speech does not mean you may use language which poses an imminent danger to other people.

Legal systems, and society at large, recognize limits on the freedom of speech, particularly when freedom of speech conflicts with other values or rights.

You may say they are taking away your freedom but I see it as taking away your so called right to hurt people . Free speech was never meant to actually harm people . It's meant to allow free expression of thoughts no matter how disgusting others may think they are .
We have no right to commit crimes . Yelling fire in a crowded theater is a criminal act and if someone gets hurt because of it other crimes will be added .
