TSA stands for Transportation Security Administration. It was founded under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act after being passed by the 107th congress and signed into law by president George W. Bush on November 19, 2001 . It was originally part of the Department of Transportation and as of March 25, 2003 is now part of the Department of Homeland Security.
According to their website www.tsa.gov the Transportation Security Administration's mission statement is to protect the Nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.
The TSA's official vision statement is to continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, and technology.
