Paperworking is done well in advance so that TSA/Airlines/Military are all on the same sheet of music.
Ok, but in both of those cases, they are acting in the capacity of a LEO, either in chaser duty or as bomb sniffing dog handlers (which is largely MP/SP work these days anyways).

Readers on here need to understand that in 99.99% of the cases, military traveling, in uniform, have the same rights as us. I guess they get to leave their boots on when going through security, unless that has been revoked now with all of the NoS around. But, again, Specialist Combat Jack can't tote an M240 on the plane with him when he travels commercially.
