Transportation Safety Administration (TSA)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring the safety and security of the nation's transportation systems, primarily in airports. Established after the 9/11 attacks, the TSA implements and enforces security protocols, including passenger screening, baggage checks, and the prevention of prohibited items on flights. Its goal is to protect travelers and maintain confidence in the security of air travel. The TSA collaborates with other agencies and organizations to continuously improve safety measures while balancing efficiency and convenience for passengers.
