Description

My TSA gives you 24/7 access to information that passengers frequently request from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

My TSA named Best Government Mobile App from the American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC) at its 9th Annual Excellence.Gov Awards event in Washington, D.C. in March 2011.

InformationWeek recognition of TSA as one of the Top 15 Government IT Innovators during the 23rd annual InformationWeek 500 Conference in September 2011. TSA was recognized for the deployment and enhancement of the My TSA mobile application.

My TSA provides real-time operating status for U.S. airports from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); a tool to find out if an item is allowed in your carry-on or checked baggage; information on ID requirements, liquids rules, and tips for packing and dressing to speed through security.

With My TSA, from the Transportation Security Administration, you can:

Check approximate wait times at TSA security checkpoints at the airport of your choice and add your own wait time for other to see.
Quickly search whether you can bring items with you through the checkpoint onto the airplane.
Consult the TSA Guide on how to prepare for and get through the security checkpoint quickly. Watch TSA Videos on tips for a smooth travel experience.
See airport delay information for airports nationwide -- and see how long are the delays.
Provide immediate feedback to TSA concerning your checkpoint experience.
Check the weather forecast and current weather conditions at any U.S. airport.
Icons and crisp graphics that look spectacular on iPhone 4 Retina displays.

Customer Reviews

Great App (5 stars)
I am not sure what the negative reviews are about. I find this app more helpful than the actual website. I fly a lot and there is always some confusion with the bag I check in and now that I have this app....no more confusion. I especially like the can I take it feature. Very helpful!!!

so thankful (5 stars)
fabulous app. the "can I bring" feature is priceless. appreciate the airport information - weather, delays, etc. those 2 features are all I could ask for. thank you!!

Worth having for the "can I bring" feature itself! (5 stars)
I love the "Can I Bring?" search feature, it really clarifies what is allowed while traveling, helping travelers prepare with ease to breeze through check points painlessly. This alone is worth downloading the app for (you can access this on the mobile web as well, but I like the app as a dedicated portal).
