They are federal employees working in an area controlled by the federal government.
I suggest that the area comprising the TSA Checkpoints is a federsl reservation and falls under federal jurisdiction.
Eyecue has indicated that enhanced screenings must be conducted in private.
This incident certainly looks like a case of TSA trying to hide yet another problem in TSA from the public. I don't know how this made it to the public but am thankful that it did.
We now have one more reason to not trust TSA.
