I emailed the campaign the last time this was reported - they didn't respond with an answer. I will send another message, because I find it odd that this is the second time the TSA was caught trying out their security 'skills' at an Obama event.
The Secret Service asked TSA to conduct screening at campaign events and even some Presidential public appearances to supplement the protection provided by their own officers. This has been going on for a year or so.
