If the local LEO defers, who detains the passenger while the feds arrive? Does the TSA just find some before unknown reason to use their discretion to prevent the passenger from going into the sterile area?

I think I just answered my own question. But, even then, they can not detain the passenger, but just not allow them to to proceed. The passenger could still go back outside, ditch the MJ and try again. Right?
