Negitive. I know for a fact that TSI's don't have LEO Status.
And nothing "SSI" about it....all one has to do is go over to USAJOBs and look under 1801 series for the jobs. Nothing at all on there about LEO Status, carrying weapons, or Lautenburg Amendment....
Plus, I worked for the FAMS in their OP Center for 2 years and know they don't carry.
Only ones under TSA that carry are FAMS and OIG. That's it.
If a TSO carried on-duty and was seen.....local LEOs would be called, they would be disarmed, arrested, and carted off to jail.....and fired.
