Here’s how air travel was redefined in the wake of September 11, 2001.
Two months after the attacks, former president George W. Bush signed legislation creating the Transportation Security Administration, a force of federal airport screeners that replaced the private companies that airlines were hiring to handle security.
The law required that all checked bags be screened, cockpit doors be reinforced, and more federal air marshals be put on flights.
The TSA is under the Department of Homeland Security, which was also created in the wake of 9/11. It was compiled from 22 federal agencies or departments whose responsibilities ranged from Border Patrol agents on horseback to Federal Emergency Management Agency personnel inspecting damaged homes after hurricanes to Coast Guard personnel teaching boaters about marine safety.
