TSA Official Statements Archive 2021-2024
Summary

The archive includes statements on operational matters such as record passenger screening volumes, employee COVID-19 casualties, pay parity legislation, face mask requirements for public transportation, and organizational appointments.

What changed
This source is a navigation/index web page maintained by the Transportation Security Administration that catalogs the agency's official press statements from 2021 through 2024. It does not itself create, amend, or remove any regulatory requirements. The archive lists statements on diverse topics including COVID-19 employee impacts, face mask directives for public transportation, pay parity for TSA employees, appointment of senior officials, and screening policy updates such as breast milk and formula handling.
Affected parties seeking regulatory guidance should access individual linked statements rather than this index page. Compliance officers monitoring TSA policy should review specific statements relevant to their transportation sector operations, particularly the mask requirement rescission following the April 2022 court ruling and the pay parity provisions under the FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill.
