Transportation Safety Administration

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring the safety of travelers and transportation systems, primarily at airports. They conduct security screenings of passengers and baggage to prevent dangerous items from being carried onto planes. TSA also develops security procedures, coordinates with airlines, and works to detect threats while maintaining efficient travel experiences. Established after 9/11, their primary goal is to protect the public from terrorism and ensure safe, secure air travel.
