People are fucking idiots and believe anything they read. Read the first sentence:
Quote:

"The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security on Tuesday partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and several other federal and state agencies for a safety enforcement and awareness operation on Tennessee's interstates and two metropolitan-area bus stations.

I read this as "The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security" is conducting some "safety enforcement and awareness operation". Most likely they are going to be targeting transit buses - Greyhound, etc - which makes perfect sense being as we've had a fair amount of accidents involving passenger buses in the past two years. They are partnering with the TSA because security on public transportation is their area of concern.
We tend to think of the TSA as only having control in airports, but that's only their most visible area. From
Wikipedia:

With state, local, and regional partners, the TSA oversees security for highways, railroads, buses, mass transit systems, pipelines, ports.

So this should come as no surprise really. Basically the TSA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is going to be working with local law enforcement on a number of issues.
It's like the US is turning into Nazi Germany.
