Here’s what’s inside the TSA Museum

A lot of people were surprised to learn that there’s a TSA Museum inside TSA headquarters. Here’s a look at what’s inside:

wand — An original handheld metal detector used by TSA at Washington Reagan National Airport in 2002.

Portland Walk Through Metal Detector — A metal detector which screened hijackers on the morning of September 11th.

Flag — This flag was flying over Terminal B at Boston Logan Airport when the airport was federalized in 2002. American Airlines Flight 11 left from Gate 32 in this terminal on September 11th.

First TSA Uniform — The first uniform issued to TSA federal screeners beginning in 2002.

Museum, Security, TSA
