Not only is it an insult to real cops, it also degrades the populations respect for authority. If we grow used to idiocy and low standards with "People with badges" from the TSA, it may result in us, likewise, treating real police officers the same way.

Either (A) Require Professional training for TSA Employees (Never going to happen, would quadruple the cost of the TSA, they are basically minimum wage screeners) or (B) Put the correct uniform on them so people can tell the difference between police officers and screeners.
