Transportation Security Officers (TSOs)

Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) are security personnel responsible for screening passengers and their baggage at airports to ensure safety. They operate screening equipment, conduct physical inspections, and monitor security areas. TSOs follow established procedures to detect potential threats, preventing items that could be harmful from being brought onto aircraft. Their role is essential in maintaining safety while facilitating efficient passenger flow through security checkpoints. Trained to identify suspicious behaviors and items, TSOs work under strict regulations to protect travelers and airline staff, making air travel safer for everyone.
