Security Administration sets rules and regulations for airport security to protect passengers and prevent hijacking on planes (Airport Security Strategies). Patrick Smith argues that the TSA has the wrong mindset because security regulations and screenings currently in place are too focused on searching for pointy objects, shoe removal, and liquids/gels.
