Transportation Security Administration

After the attacks of 9/11, tens of thousands joined TSA to strengthen our transportation systems and protect the American people. Today, we are still fiercely committed to our mission and our country.

Join Our Mission

On November 19, 2001, the  Aviation and Transportation Security Act was signed by Congress and established the TSA as a direct response to 9/11. We work hard every day to serve our country and uphold our mission to protect the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.

Make a Difference

It's our vision to act as an agile security agency, embodied by a professional workforce, that engages its partners and the American people to outmatch a dynamic threat. Our impact on national security is unquestionable.
