Agreed. I was about to edit the post to clarify, but you beat me to it. Because of the role of the Union Army during reconstruction, the use of the military in administration and law enforcement is banned under the Posse Comitatus Act, and I think it would include TSA activities within the territory of the United States. The lawyers would know the legal limits better than I, I just read history.
