> didn't understand what federal powers would exist in that situation and on that property

Well someone else linked to them and they seem to be what I'm saying?

> The person to be arrested has committed in the arresting officer's presence an offense



> offense

Define offense. Someone suggested it has to be criminal, but does it actually say that somewhere. Does disobeying an order to secure the room constitute an offense against NASA? Depending on the meaning of that word, it could certainly be interpreted that way, in which case arrest is a real possibility.

My guess is they'd arrest anyone who tried, and apologize later if someone proved that they shouldn't have done it. And nobody would actually be punished for the incorrect arrest.
