That wasn't TSA, but local law enforcement, as I understand. And even if it seems like splitting hairs to you and I, different rules apply.

Not to mention the fact that these GAO agents were not dealing with mitary grade explosives, but what they could get at a local store. I am not sure, can't remember if the report stated if these agents were LEOs or not?

But what local law enforcement can and can not do - and who knows how much paper work was required for them to bring c4 into an airport? - does not apply to federal agencies, I would doubt. Specifically because that local agency deals exclusively with IEDs and the GAO does not.
