Transportation Security Officer - Military Veterans

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in the wake of 9/11 with a mission to strengthen the security of the nation’s transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. It’s our vision to act as an agile security agency that engages its partners and the American people to outmatch a dynamic threat. The agency will continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, technologies and use of intelligence to drive operations.

TSA recognizes that veterans have demonstrated leadership, integrity, teamwork and commitment to public service. Veterans serve across TSA in a wide range of positions including Transportation Security Officers, Federal Air Marshals, Explosives Specialists, Intelligent Analysts, Canine Handlers and various other mission support positions. You’ll appreciate the camaraderie of working with a dedicated team in an environment where a lasting career can take shape.​
