Nope. Presenting my ID (and pilot certificates under FAR 61.3 (L)) to an authorized TSA representative is not the issue. A Federal Security Director in Melbourne (MLB) saying his TSA screeners can detain someone is what I can't seem to find the rules for.
I'm hoping that your training as a TSA screener (and now as a behavior detection whatever) at least had some legal reference as limits of authority and force. Or is it just make it up as you go along as your brethren in MLB, BNA, BDL, etc are doing.
By the way have you read FAR 61.3 (L)? It seems like if I am mowing my front lawn (not very aviation related) I still must have my pilot credentials and government photo ID on me. That one I have not figured out yet.
So back to the question, how does your Federal Security Director (not the one at MLB) want to find out the limits of search (and apparently detainment) of TSA screeners on airport operating areas?
