Transportation Security Administration

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for ensuring the safety of the nation's transportation systems, primarily in airports. Established after the September 11 attacks, the TSA implements security measures to protect passengers and cargo from threats. This includes screening travelers and their belongings at airport checkpoints and enforcing regulations on prohibited items. The TSA also collaborates with other agencies to enhance overall transportation security across various modes, including rail and air travel. Their goal is to create a safe environment for all travelers.
