Transportation Security Administration Customer Service Number

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. As a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, we are charged with the mission to protect the nation’s transportation systems and ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. Our highly trained, professional workforce engages its partners and the American people to outmatch a dynamic threat. We employ more than 60,000 people around the world to ensure the safety of more than 2 million passengers every day – over 750 million a year – as they travel by plane, train, automobile or ferry. TSA practices an intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to security, comprised of multiple security methods and utilizing cutting-edge technology.
