Its mission is to maximize transportation security in response to evolving threats while protecting passengers' privacy and facilitating the flow of legal commerce. These responsibilities are (1) ensuring effective and efficient screening of all air passengers, baggage, and cargo on passenger planes; (2) deploying federal air marshals internationally and domestically to detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts targeting air carriers, airports, passengers, and crews; (3) managing security risks of the surface transportation systems by working with stakeholders, providing support and program direction, and conducting on- site inspections; and (4) developing and implementing more efficient, reliable, integrated, and cost-effective screening programs. In addition to airports the TSA is responsible for railways, bus systems, mass transit trains, pipelines, highways, and port systems. Findings from the TSA website will vary.
