If they have the statutory authority then it looks like it would be just another administrative search. I wonder what the limitations are on the search.
Could one just say "No" to a search and keep on going? With a LEO one could be charged with a failure to obey a "lawful" order. With a TSO, well, [thumbs nose].

Will the TSOs be partnered with LEOs? What law gives cops the authority to order you to submit to a search by some random federal employee?
