TSA to Cops: Don't Shut Our Checkpoints

The Transportation Security Administration wants complete control over its checkpoints, thank you very much. And airport police aren't happy about it. An organization representing police units at airports across the country has lodged a protest against a TSA proposal to prohibit airport police from closing security checkpoints in emergencies, USA Today reports. Police shouldn't have to wait around for TSA to take action in crisis situations, the cops say.
