DHS/TSA/PIA-028 MyTSA Mobile Application (MyTSA)

MyTSA is a mobile application that provides the traveling public access to relevant TSA travel information. MyTSA enables individuals to search for the types of items that may be carried through TSA security checkpoints, read basic information regarding TSA checkpoint policies, view and post crowdsourced wait times at TSA checkpoints, and view current travel conditions at the airports important to them. The MyTSA application does not collect or use personally identifiable information. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) addresses the privacy impact of TSA’s use of mobile media for delivering information to the public. DHS is updating and replacing the MyTSA PIA, originally published on July 1, 2010, to include that the MyTSA app is now available on the Google Play Store, in addition to the Apple App store; the ability to save multiple airports to the user profile; and links to TSA social media.
