Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world's busiest passenger airport by passenger traffic. The Transportation Security Administration screens checked and carry-on bags at checkpoints like this one, where officers use explosive trace detection swabs, handheld wands, and inspection tables to examine bags that need a closer look beyond the standard X-ray scan. TSA has staffed U.S. airport checkpoints since the agency was created in 2001 under the Department of Homeland Security.
