SgtScott, I understand LEO detention requirements. I'm a LEO.

What I don't know is how or if those detention standards hold with TSOs as well, since they're not LEOs. Specifically, can a TSO engage in a forced detention?

I've seen no case law on this issue. I read Aukai as permitting TSO forced detention as, to me, not free to leave means just that. But I've not yet seen that specific issue put to the test, as it were.
