I am TSA

"... the person without whom we can’t succeed"

When Kip Hawley became Assistant Secretary of TSA, he declined to have an official portrait taken to hang in TSA offices. Instead, he has sent mirrors to hang next to portraits of President Bush and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "When our airport screeners look in the mirror, they will see who is important, who can make a difference, the person without whom we can't succeed," Hawley said. With that, the I am TSA campaign was born.
