TSA has no authority to detain anyone. You can literally walk away.
- lokar 3y agoThe article is unclear but it’s safe to assume he was detained by immigration.
- eventhorizon77 3y agoI read a different article that reported he was returning to the U.S. from Japan. So definitely it was immigration authorities.
- vorpalhex 3y agoThat is incorrect. TSA absolutely has full legal authority in the federal area of an airport including detainment and arrest. They are federal agents and past the security gates is federal area. Immigration also has detainment authority. According to BleepingComputer it was actually CBP (Border Patrol, not ICE).
