TSA stands for which agency?

• A. Travel Safety Administration
• B. Transportation Security Administration
• C. Transportation Safety Agency
• D. Terminal Security Administration

Answer: (B)

Understanding how acronyms map to official agency names helps you recognize the right term. The Transportation Security Administration is the federal agency responsible for securing transportation systems, especially airports, and is part of the Department of Homeland Security. It was created after 9/11 to implement standardized passenger and baggage screening and related security procedures. The official designation uses “Administration,” not “Agency,” which is why the other options don’t fit. Travel Safety Administration isn’t an actual agency, and the other two options mix up the wording or use a non-existent name.
