I thought that was for travel only (NLETS). For concourse access without flying (like investigations or the such), I didn't think that was required-- right?
I thought it's on the honor system, sort of like for SIDA folks, who need to be screened before taking a flight but have free access to the concourse.
The communication is for flying. If the LEO tends to need access to the sterile area on any more than an occasional visit, the LEO will probably already have a SIDA badge. Though even with the SIDA badge many times TSA will still have Airport PD verify the LEO credentials.
