Featured Government Website in December

TSA.gov (The Transportation Security Administration)

With the holiday season already in full swing, travel safety and security is on everybody's mind. The Transportation Security Administration, a US government agency, addresses all your travel concerns by protecting the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.

The TSA web site provides detailed information for travelers, including the 3-1-1 liquid policy, acceptable forms of identification, traveling with special items, prohibited items, new security measures for international travel, and information on pat-downs (what triggers a pat-down, what happens during a pat-down and what you can do to prevent a pat-down).

Recently TSA has released Helpful Hints for Holiday Travelers, which includes a video address by TSA Administrator John Pistole.
