yeah, the sheriff proposed it openly, but TSA is identified as the idea creator.

From the article:

"Legislator Frank Mauriello, R-Colonie, said he was in favor of the measure, but thought it would've been helpful if TSA representatives had come out to explain it further.

"We knew they [TSA] were the ones that came to the sheriff and asked to do this," Mauriello said. "What I found really confusing, once they had our support and ear, they decided not to come."
