Since when did TSA start walking a beat?

Waste of resources and tax monies.
I've always seen 'em here and there, walking a beat. I guess it's relative: is that more of a waste of money than seeing 10 of them stand around at a checkpoint while only 1 x-ray machine and metal detector is open?

Sort of funny...stories of them cajoling free food. Mall cops just called...*they* think that's lame.
