What are the limitations of a Transportation Security Officer?

• A. Have law enforcement powers
• B. Only perform Screening and Document check
• C. Issue penalties for violations
• D. Design security procedures

Answer: (B)

A Transportation Security Officer’s role centers on screening passengers and baggage and verifying travel documents at security checkpoints. They are not authorized to enforce laws or issue penalties, and they don’t design security procedures. Their duties are focused on detection and verification, with escalation to law enforcement or other TSA units if needed. So the limitation is that they perform screening and document checks only.
