That raises the question of "who are these people that now represent the TSA at our airports?" They seem to have law enforcement authority and assert powers of search and detention that should only be entrusted to trained and trusted LEOs.
Who are these people? What kind of training have they had? What kind of background screening have they gone thru to get these jobs? Who did these screens, if any have been done? Have they ever had any formal education? Have they ever been able to hold jobs before this one?
Is all of this the same as is required of an FBI agent? or the guy who takes out the trash at the Pentagon? or the cook at the White House? Is there anybody who knows and moreover, are there many of us who care?
