Which of the following is NOT a key function of the TSA?

  1. Screening passengers and baggage

  2. Conducting criminal investigations

  3. Establishing security policies for transportation

  4. Coordinating with other security agencies

The correct answer is: Conducting criminal investigations

Conducting criminal investigations is not a key function of the TSA. The Transportation Security Administration primarily focuses on ensuring the security of the nation's transportation systems. This includes screening passengers and baggage to prevent dangerous items from being brought onto aircraft, establishing security policies tailored for various modes of transportation, and coordinating with federal, state, and local agencies to enhance overall security measures. While criminal investigations may involve transportation-related incidents, they are typically handled by law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI or local police departments, rather than the TSA. The TSA's mandate is centered around prevention and security rather than direct law enforcement actions, which is why this function is outside of its primary responsibilities.
