Established in November 2001 in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on New York City, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in charge of security not just at the country's airports but also other transportation systems like highways, railways and ports.

TSA's push for biometric technology and digital IDs with Big Tech aims to streamline airport security, but raises concerns over passenger privacy and government surveillance.

On a recent Thursday morning in Queens, travelers streamed through the exterior doors of La Guardia Airport’s Terminal C. Some were bleary-eyed — most hefted briefcases — as they checked bags and made their way to the security screening lines.

In January, select passengers at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas will begin testing a new self-service screening system from the Transportation Security Administration. The setup will resemble a supermarket self-checkout, with travelers scanning their identification and carry-on bags instead of arugula and toilet paper.

A passenger walks up to an airport security checkpoint, slips an ID card into a slot and looks into a camera atop a small screen. The screen flashes “Photo Complete” and the person walks through — all without having to hand over their identification to the TSA officer sitting behind the screen.

A Los Angeles Chargers player says he was sexually assaulted by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent at a California-area airport.

The TSA may expand the pilot program of its facial recognition identification system — currently being used in 16 domestic airports across the United States — to include airports nationwide as early as next year.

The Supreme Court allowed a lower court ruling to stand that permitted the Transportation Security Administration to require masks by passengers on airlines and trains during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer enforce the CDC's mask mandate for travel after a federal judge in Florida struck down the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) directive.
