The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA, Pub.L. 107-71 November 19, 2001) was enacted by the 107th United States Congress in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The Act led to the development of the new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) within the Department of Homeland Security. This Act established a series of challenging but critically important milestones toward achieving a secure air travel system.

TSA's Service Commitment reads, "The ultimate goal of TSA Service is to create an atmosphere that aligns with our passenger's need to be secure while ensuring the freedom of movement for people. In doing so our employees will assure customer confidence and ultimately establish a standard for passenger satisfaction."
