Seems like I see them at checkpoints quite often.

Incidentally - the DHS has its own police force. Wonder why they don't have one at every checkpoint in place of local police. If I recall, people have noted on FT that airports are subject to federal jurisdiction in legal matters at checkpoints vice local laws. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, though.
