Are TSA Badges Illegal?
1. It is a crime to impersonate a Federal Law Enforcement Officer.

2. TSA screening employees are not LEO's.

3. TSA screening employees are now being issued badges which I believe are *intended* to make them look official.

Is that a violation of the law?

Can I issue brass badges, perhaps with an Eagle and a star, which says "United States Citizen"?
