And, again, one cannot make that asumption solely on the basis of the speaker not having a law degree. I've known a lot of lawyers, but one of the most informed people I have ever known on constitutional issues was a fellow professor (of history) who had been teaching a class on constitutional law. He got interested in the topic and was as well-read and well-informed as anyone I knew, before or since.

Nope. TSA personnel have no police powers. That's why there is almost always an airport cop at or near the checkpoint.
