There are many things which are not allowed into the airport. This is due to the possible risk it might bring to the passenger and the plane. The Transportation Security Administration has the responsibility of ensuring that nothing illegal or harmful goes through the airports security. There are also TSA travel rules that govern the other transport systems such as passenger and freight traffic on the road.

Having explosives and inflammable stuff on any of your bag will attract severe penalties from the TSA. Items such as lighters, gasoline, explosives imitation, recreational oxygen and other compressed gas cylinders are illegal in the airport. This is due to uncertain outcomes it might bring on board. Fire and explosion can quickly bring down a plane resulting in massive death.

The security administration partially prohibits firearm on board. Although other airlines allow ammunitions on board, its offense to the checked baggage. TSA ensures that anything that triggers the alarm during screening is confiscated and the passenger taken into custody. But, if you are legally allowed to have firearms, you can transport them for a limited fee. They must be safely unloaded and packed by the hazardous material regulation. Gunpowder is completely prohibited.

The liquid rule clarifies what fluid should be carried by the passenger and in what amount. Travellers can bring a quart-sized bag of liquid, sprays, creams through the security. They are however limited to containers of 100 millilitres or less in their carry-on bag. Any container bigger than 3.4 ounces should be packed in the checked baggage. Clear documents from your pharmacist should help you avert any problem with the TSA official even if it exceeds 100 millimetres.

The TSA has considered the disabled and people with the medical condition in the screening process. All you would need are documents describing your condition or a TSA notifications. Upon confirming the legitimacy of your documentation, the personnel will take you through a different check where you will not have to remove your shoe or belt and laptop. Cooperation with the security officer for also carried explosive test is however appreciated.

Airplane operators are supposed to comply with the TSAs rules and regulations. Then passenger aircraft companies should ensure that their crew is trained according to the security administrations standard. They are also capped with the responsibility of restricting entry into unauthorized areas. Also, not paying the security fee, flying banned passengers and failure to transport Federal Air Marshal passes as a breach.

Any airport in the United States should adhere to transportation laws. For the smooth operation of the air transport industry, the airport operators should beef up the security of the facility by having a qualified Airport Security Coordinator who fulfils all the functions required of him. The management is supposed to allow TSA inspection and also restrict the movement to secured areas. Failure to follow escort procedures or having untrained personnel could prove detrimental.

The main role of TSA in the transportation sector is to ensure that our travel is safe and sound. The passenger and other relevant stakeholders should comply with the set-out rule for our own good. Violation can lead to costly consequences.
