Hold on, wasn't there some big hubbub a while back about TX making all federal officers TX peace officers as well?srothstein wrote:The key points to this are that the federal air marshals are NOT all assigned to fly, some work these ground based teams. And NO federal employee is a peace officer in Texas requiring you to identify yourself as a CHL under Texas law.

Sec. 38.02. FAILURE TO IDENTIFY. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to give his name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the person and requested the information.
(b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally gives a false or fictitious name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has:
(1) lawfully arrested the person; (2) lawfully detained the person; or (3) requested the information from a person that the peace officer has good cause to believe is a witness to a criminal offense.
I'm not seeing anything about TSA officers on buses in that link. The only reference I've seen to "Undercover TSA Officers" is on tinfoil hat sites and blogs, not actual news sites. Everything else either doesn't say or says undercover police officers. Big difference.Slowplay wrote:So, are you saying the story is bogus?

Don't get me started on old Janet and her "ace team" of terrorist hunters...but she sure is welcome to go spend a day humping a ruck while folks try to blow her up while tagging along with some of the Army boys in the 'Stan, or even hang out with my former unit of Air Force mechanics as they bust knuckles to launch, recover, and repair aircraft >12 hours a day in the "sandbox"...as if...that woman is nothing but a political opportunist and sycophantic bureaucrat who has no clue what any of our "returning veterans" put up with over there. Stupidity, simply stupidity.4t5 wrote:Sorry, sir, but according to this official DHS publication, it is you.

"DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities."
And this apparently proves it:
"After Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991, some returning military veterans—including Timothy McVeigh—joined or associated with rightwing extremist groups."
It's a collaboration that includes the TSA - so maybe you're right. Besides, they are undercover and wouldn't be riding around in their blue TSA uniforms anyway. That is...until they spring into action and do a superman shirt spread to reveal their TSA blues to unsuspecting bus-riding subjects.MadMonkey wrote: I'm not seeing anything about TSA officers on buses in that link.
