Passenger Screening Program

Overview
The TSA Passenger Screening Program (PSP) is responsible for the identification, procurement, deployment and sustainment of checkpoint security equipment for federalized airports. PSP's key mission is to provide technologies that assist Transportation Security Officers (TSO) in denying entry to potential threats that may cause injury, death or property damage when directed against the air transportation network. This is accomplished through R&D efforts with the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Directorate, and through engineering and development efforts conducted by TSA in conjunction with technology vendors.
