TSA agents
Carry-on bag checkers
TSA agents are the uniformed security personnel who screen passengers and baggage at U.S. airports.
They work for the Transportation Security Administration, created after the September 11 attacks.
The term often carries connotations of tedious security theater—long lines, removing shoes, confiscated water bottles: The TSA agents made me throw out my shampoo.
