Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for ensuring the safety of travelers in airports and on other modes of transport. Established after the September 11 attacks, the TSA implements security measures, such as screening passengers and baggage, to prevent terrorist threats. Its goal is to protect the nation's transportation systems while facilitating safe travel for the public. TSA agents work collaboratively with airlines and law enforcement to enhance security and promote a secure travel environment.
