TSA — Transportation Security Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Domains in this note: tsa.gov.

What they regulate

Transportation security screening and related security programs (aviation and certain surface modes) under DHS. TSA does not issue FMCSA MC authority, FAA air-carrier certificates used as broker licenses, SEC registration, or customs-broker licenses (CBP). Air freight and aircraft desks still verify FAA/CBP/FMCSA paths separately.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. TSA home — Aviation and surface transportation security programs under DHS.
  2. TSA security programs — Passenger, cargo, and stakeholder security context — not an FMCSA or FAA broker license.

Questions this page answers

Does a TSA known-shipper status license an air-freight broker?

No. Security program participation is not FMCSA, FAA economic authority, or a CBP customs-broker license. Confirm each register that applies to the product.

Is TSA the same as FAA?

No. FAA covers civil aviation safety/certification; TSA covers transportation security under DHS.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
