They have just as much power to provide information to another agency as any other citizen. And not an iota more.
There is a posting referencing a statute regarding make false statements to a TSA agent is an offense subject to fines and imprisonment.
I agree LEO's will make the arrest. Instead of "right" let's say TSA has the a "greater likelyhood" to make a serious accusations without significant liability to cause you to be detained.
Do you agree the
TSA agent/federal employee is conducting an interrogation and with felony consequences? If so, I would submit, you can subjected to a long road of legal expenses and irreparable harm.
