Standing in Your Shoes. A message from Secretary Johnson about the men and women of TSA → “On Thursday, I worked alongside the men and women of the Transportation Security Administration at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. I interacted with passengers and addressed their questions, and even helped a family get to their gate on time. These are just a sampling of the essential tasks that the men and women of TSA perform each and every day as they stand on the front lines of our nation’s aviation security. I have stood in their shoes – this job is not easy. But it is vital. TSA secures the skies, and does so professionally, courteously, and with a sincere dedication to duty. Thank you, TSA, for what you do to protect the homeland.”
