Having had to ride the trolley in San Diego on occasion over the years (both my home and my work location are near trolley stops and on rainy days, riding the scooter to work is not safe), I have recently seen TSA agents following transit police when they do the ticket check walk-through. A couple months ago, I noticed TSA stop and talk to a "brown man" while the transit cop waited for them to catch up at the back of the car where I was sitting. They didn't arrest him, but they obviously "had their eye" on him for some reason.
Just a personal anecdote, I know, and there's nothing to back it up because transit cop checks are normal on the trolley. But here in San Diego, TSA has been roaming the trolley for a while - probably because the last trolley stop is about 200 feet from the San Ysidro/Tijuana border crossing.
