In all fairness, I can't think of many aircraft with a min safe speed of 250 kias...
The B747-200 for example, is flaps up and clean at 235 kias. 170 kias in the 747-200 is saftey speed, that means the aircraft will climb at 170 kias with take-off flaps set.

T38 / F5 gets a pass on the 250 KT rule.

Almost all major airports' ramps are not controlled by ATC.  They are either uncontrolled (like SYR) or are controlled by the airline that has the largest presence at that airport.

I agree, if you mean " at that terminal" rather then at that airport.
