Armed agents must also be law enforcement officers who are currently active, retired or formerly qualified with at least four years of law enforcement experience. They must have completed basic law enforcement training from a federal, state or local government body. Officers are nominated by either an airport or aircraft operator. Though working under a government program, agents are not employed by the federal government. Rather, they are compensated by the nominating body.
I took the above quote from the TSA webpage. If they are not Federal agents where do they get their powers? Who is the nominating body?
