TSA security
Pre-flight passenger checkpoint
TSA security refers to the screening process administered by the Transportation Security Administration at U.S. airports.
Passengers pass through checkpoints where they remove shoes, submit to body scans, and have bags X-rayed.
The phrase often carries connotations of inconvenience or security theater: We barely made our flight after getting stuck in TSA security.
