they do not function as "investigative or law enforcement officers."
So... assuming you had a few hundred dollars to drop on a flight you won't be able to get on (my bet) what exactly would be the issue of showing up, getting frisked, and then putting a beat down on the TSA droid when he/she "touched you inappropraitely" ? Of course, when the real LE gets there, you be polite and professional...
What exactly could you end up being charged with? It has been ruled that they are neither investigative nor LE. So what standing do they have?
I understand they can refuse to allow you to board... An assault charge would be easy to get out of, since self defense when sexually assaulted is accepted....
Any of our recent retirees have a few days to kill and a good friend who is a good lawyer so it won't cost you a few thou in legal fees?
