Additionally, no on-duty employee may have in his or her possession firearms or other weapons while in an airport terminal, other airport building, or airport parking lot (including off site parking where employee parking fees are subsidized by TSA) unless authorized by TSA in accordance with this directive. These requirements apply regardless of any state law that may permit the carrying of firearms or other weapons.
Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Thank you.
Since this from the TSA Handbook and not a government regulation, would I be correct in saying that a TSO who brought a gun to work would not be violating any law, and just an employer's policy? If that is the case, then it is not a crime and the police couldn't do anything because it is legal under state law, but the TSA could discipline/dismiss the employee.
