I don't think SATTSO has either but not fully sure. Wasn't a question about where a person worked anyhow.
Not quite true. Everyone who has access to the secure areas of the airport is a part of that areas security. Each individual company or service provides the individual airport with confirmation of the employee’s background check and therefore weather they should be allowed access to those secure areas of the airport, according to the airports, the TSA’s, and the FAA’s requirements.

TSA orders Richmond airport to give security clearance to felon
Hmm, sure seems like TSA is calling the shots.
Also not quite true. All parties that provide a service at the airport are a part of that airports security. The lead agencies in this effort are of course the FAA and the TSA, but many others are involved in the entire process. Airlines included.
All activities may have security responsibilities but seems like TSA is in charge given the legislation passed by Congress.
