You may certainly think so. But, you would be wrong.
TSA Officers are
not law enforcement. But, that has zippo to do with the issue which is "unlawful possession".
A federal employee who comes upon contraband, including marijuana, during the course of his employment, has an obligation to turn it over to law enforcement and his temporary possession for that purpose is far from "unlawful".
And, this is an issue which has nothing to do with your personal views of TSA Officers. It applies to GS-1 file clerks at the VA (if there are any) just as well.
