This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM contains a collection of authoritative federal documents on the subject of air travel security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), with airport screening, bombs and explosives, airplane hijacking and terrorism threats, information for travelers and tourists, and passenger tips.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act signed into law by President George W. Bush on November 19, 2001. TSA was originally in the Department of Transportation but was moved to the Department of Homeland Security in March 2003. TSA’s mission is to protect the nation’s transportation systems by ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. In February 2002, TSA assumed responsibility for security at the nation’s airports and by the end of the year had deployed a federal work force to meet challenging Congressional deadlines for screening all passengers and baggage.

TSA is committed to meeting its post-9/11 security mandate, while simultaneously providing the best possible customer service. The TSA Pledge to Travelers is a reminder to the public that in the pursuit of these goals, TSA remains in the service of the American people. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has launched the Registered Traveler pilot program in partnership with selected airlines and airports across the country.
