In this episode of 20 Things You Didn’t Know About, we’re taking off on a turbulence-free tour through one of the most misunderstood institutions in America: the TSA.

Whether you love the bin dance or loathe the pat-downs, the Transportation Security Administration is one of the most visible—and controversial—federal agencies in the country. Created in the chaotic wake of 9/11, the TSA changed the way Americans fly, forever.

But behind the confiscated shampoo bottles and blue latex gloves, there’s a long runway of strange facts, questionable policies, and head-scratching security theater.

Whether you're a nervous flyer, a frequent traveler, or just someone who wonders how the peanut butter got flagged, this episode is your boarding pass to the surprising world behind the conveyor belt.
