Department of Homeland Security is actively working to raise the baseline for aviation security across the globe by requiring the implementation of enhanced security measures, both seen and unseen, at approximately 280 foreign airports with direct commercial flights to the U.S., in more than 100 countries around the world. TSA works closely with international partners to maintain aviation security standards abroad.
Methods of monitoring vary from airport to airport and may include CCTV. Monitoring: Responsibilities for access control and video monitoring of checked baggage facilities fall to individual airports as part of their security plan. TSA has no position on the validity or effectiveness of these product as a security measure and will be forced to remove these products if necessary during the inspection. These locks are commercially available, and packaging on the locks should indicate they may be opened by TSA officers. Locks: TSA has been provided universal "master" keys under agreements with Safe Skies Luggage Locks and Travel Sentry so that certain branded locks may not have to be cut to inspect baggage. If your property is lost or damaged during transport to the plane or baggage claim, please contact your airline. This is to inform you that an officer conducted an inspection of your property.Ĭlaims: If your property is lost or damaged during the screening process, you may file a claim with TSA. If your property is physically inspected, TSA will place a notice of baggage inspection inside your bag. Inspection Notices: TSA may inspect your checked baggage during the screening process. The majority of checked baggage is screened without the need for a physical bag search. Once the screening process has completed, your airline will transport your checked baggage on your respective flight as well as deliver it to the baggage claim area.
Upon check in, your checked baggage will be provided to TSA for security screening. TSA screens approximately 1.4 million checked bags for explosives and other dangerous items daily. Passenger screening at the airport is part of TSA’s layered approach to security to get you safely to your destination. TSA’s screening procedures are intended to prevent prohibited items and other threats to transportation security from entering the sterile area of the airport and are developed in response to information on threats to transportation security.

TSA counts on the traveling public to report unattended bags or packages individuals in possession of a threatening item and persons trying to enter a restricted area or similar suspicious activities at airports, train stations, bus stops and ports. Because of this, you may notice changes in our procedures from time to time. TSA adjusts processes and procedures to meet the evolving threat and to achieve the highest levels of transportation security. Additional security measures are in place from the time you get to the airport until you get to your destination. TSA works closely with the intelligence and law enforcement communities to share information. Security measures begin long before you arrive at the airport. TSA incorporates unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, to accomplish our transportation security mission.
