ACLU study

"In particular, the TSA documents indicate a substantial focus on Arabs, Muslims and Latinos, despite repeated TSA assurances that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) component does not profile travelers based on ethnicity, race or religion." Benjamin (talk) 09:11, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

What section should this go in? Benjamin (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Logo change

Johnstondavidl has recently changed the logo, which was File:Transportation Security Administration logo.svg, from the entire logo to just the seal with no explanation was given. In my opinion there is no reason to change the logo to the only the seal. We have the entire logos for most other DHS agencies, why should TSA be any different? I also can't seem to find a source that uses this version. I have reverted the logo back to what it was prior to their edits – File:Transportation Security Administration logo.svg.

I also have potential concerns of a possible conflict of interest between the user and the TSA. Corky 18:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

As of yesterday, June 4th, it looks like the logo/seal change is official. If you visit tsa.gov, the wordmark logo has been replaced with the seal.--TUFKAAP (talk) 19:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

TSA in popular culture?

The popularity of the 2024 film Carry-On suggests that it should be referenced in this article somehow, but I don't usually edit articles about government agencies, so I'm not sure if a "popular culture" section is considered appropriate. Carguychris (talk) 16:19, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Illegal surveillance of Tulsi Gabbard by TSA/Homeland Security

This true fact has been verified by Rand Paul using actual TSA documents outlining how Gabbard was watched and recorded. 73.45.9.46 (talk) 19:54, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Merge PreCheck section into Main TSA PreCheck Article

I propose merging the existing TSA PreCheck section from this article into the main TSA PreCheck article.

While the two pages don't heavily overlap, the current section here contains a significant amount of detailed history, much of it poorly written, that inherently belongs on the main topic page instead. Conversely, the main TSA PreCheck article already features a lot of useful current information that would provide better context for the content in this article.

@Orcawave You used the {{merge}} template incorrectly, next time please follow the instructions for nominating an article for merging.

This is not controversial so i've done the merge, feel free to edit the articles but don't re-add the {{merge}} template manually.   Y Merge completed. FaviFake (talk) 10:22, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Sorry I'm not familiar with all of that, I also didn't see section specific instructions. Orcawave (talk) 13:06, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

@Orcawave That's because they don't exist because section-specific merges are almost never controversial and so you should not be able to propose such a merge in the first place, you're just supposed to boldly do it yourself. FaviFake (talk) 13:10, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

I want familler with that, I thought it was almost a tag that said if anyone wants to do this for me while I'm busy to for it. Thanks. Orcawave (talk) 13:20, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately not! Have a great day :)   FaviFake (talk) 13:22, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

One more thing, would it be reasonable to use an excerpt from the main article for a quick description? Orcawave (talk) 13:25, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes it would! You should read WP:SUMMARY for how we generally deal with this. FaviFake (talk) 13:48, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
