there was a movie a few years back starring tom hanks,called "the terminal"...it was exactly the same premise..a man stuck at the airport ,no place to go,no money,and on and on..sleeping in chairs,washing up in the restroom, who actually received help from various employees at the airport with food and the like..it of course had a happy ending...

Vagrancy? (Is it still something people get charged with?)
Loitering?

Failure to leave a premises when asked?

Good question.
