TSOs are responsible for providing security and protection of travelers across all transportation sectors in a courteous and professional manner. Their duties may also extend to securing high-profile events, important figures and/or anything that includes or impacts our transportation systems.
Transportation Security Officer (TSOs) and Security Support Assistants (SSAs) are the face of the agency, the people on the front lines who play an important role at TSA. For many people, working as a TSO or SSA has led to a long, fulfilling career with the federal government.
