That's a pretty good point.
OTOH, drugs are still against federal law as well.
I'm on the fence with this one, myself. I think TSOs should only be concerned with threats to the aircraft and not do LEO work. OTOH I don't think that TSOs should let, say, a child molester with an active warrant for said offense (should they somehow become aware of it) onto a plane without calling LEOs and alerting them.
I don't know how to reconcile those beliefs either.
