Charter Jet Security

Does the TSA have any authority over private and chartered aircraft?

If I were to charter a private jet to take me and a few friends from, say, the upper Midwest to the West Coast of the US, would we have to go through a security checkpoint like regular airline passengers?
I apologize. I should have specified the two different scenarios I’m considering.
1. Both ends of the flight are airports used for private traffic.
OR
2. The airports have commercial and privte traffic, but my proposed charter would use executive terminals instead of the regular passenger terminals.

Either way, the aircraft would be a business jet, 10 to 12 seats, and the passengers would only be people I’d invite aboard.

Thanks for your answers so far.

TSA does theoretically have authority. What they actually require depends on the size of the aircraft, the FAA rules under which it is flown, the airports it uses, and so on. TSA is trying to put a stranglehold on all air traffic, even down to small private Cessnas at dirt strips, but there is still a bit of freedom left at the moment.

The security (where it is required) isn’t quite the same as that required for regular airline passengers. The rules may change in the near future, so if you are really interested you should check just before a flight.
