In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in 2001 to mitigate threats and keep air travelers safe.

That said, not everyone associated with the TSA does the right thing all the time.

The TSA doesn’t technically seize items. Their job is to identify prohibited items and inform you that they can’t pass through security in your carry-on. You have options: surrender the item, check your bag, or take the item back to your car or give it to someone not traveling.

With a few exceptions, you probably don't touch — or perhaps even think about — your passport until you're prepping for your next vacation abroad.

Aim for nine months in advance. And believe it or not, the easiest way to renew is still the old-school way: snail mail.
