Exercise of FSD Discretion to Implement a More Stringent Screening Process

From the article:

"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."
But was it TSA or just the FSD acting on his own? FSD's can initiate more intensive screening than the standard SOP and perhaps this was his way of trying to do that. "I'll get a law passed for my airport(s) that you will face a misdemeanor if you leave the screening line before we are finished with you."
I think this was the brainchild of one overbearing FSD and that it did not have the approval of TSA management.
