Transport Security Administration (TSA)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for security at airports and on certain modes of transportation. Its primary role is to prevent threats and ensure passenger safety by screening luggage, passengers, and cargo before they board flights. TSA personnel use a combination of X-ray scanners, metal detectors, and other security techniques to identify potential hazards. They also enforce rules on prohibited items and conduct security checks to help create a safe travel environment. Overall, TSA's mission is to protect travelers and maintain the integrity of the transportation system.
