Transportation
Security
Administration
(TSA)
Pre-9/11, TSA did
not exist. The
responsibility for
civil aviation
security primarily
rested with
individual airlines
and airport
authorities.
Information
sharing among
airlines, airports,
and intelligence
agencies was
limited and not
standardized.
There was no
centralized system
for sharing
security-related
data.
Airlines and
airports had their
security
protocols, but
they varied
widely. There
were no
consistent
security policies
enforced across
the aviation
industry.
Post-9/11, TSA was
created to oversee
security in all
modes of
transportation. Its
roles expanded to
include passenger
and baggage
screening, security
assessments, and
the development
of security
protocols.
TSA established the
Transportation
Security
Operations Center
(TSOC), which
facilitates real-time
information
sharing between
federal, state, and
local agencies,
airlines, and other
transportation
stakeholders.
TSA
implemented
standardized
security policies,
including
passenger and
baggage
screening
procedures, air
marshal
programs, and
the Federal
Flight Deck
Officer program.
Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency (FEMA)
FEMA's pre-9/11
responsibilities
included disaster
response and
recovery efforts,
hazard mitigation,
and supporting
state and local
emergency
management
agencies.
FEMA coordinated
with state and local
agencies, but
information
sharing was often
slow and
fragmented due to
the lack of a
centralized system.
FEMA did not
have specific
security policies
pre-9/11 but
focused on
disaster
management and
recovery.
Post-9/11, FEMA
continued its
disaster response
efforts and became
part of DHS. Its
roles expanded to
include
coordination of
responses to
terrorist attacks
and other
FEMA improved
information
sharing through
the use of the
National Response
Framework (NRF)
and established the
Homeland Security
Information
Network (HSIN) to
facilitate secure
FEMA adopted
security policies
outlined in the
NRF and HSIN,
emphasizing
collaboration,
communication,
and coordinated
responses to
ensure national
security and
