Legality of Reverse Screening


What's the legal basis for reverse screening on domestic flights?

I understand the argument that screening is voluntary and the TSA can deny you boarding if you refuse it, but what can they do if you refuse a reverse screen? You've already arrived and I don't think they have any legal ability to hold you without arresting you.
