Whats on display in the museum?
Among those items are images, oral histories, internal planning documents, a uniform and other objects relating to the first airport to get TSA screeners
Limestone from the exterior of the Pentagon and mangled pieces of the World Trade Center are in the collection, as is an example of the first handheld metal detectors, or wands, used to screen passengers at airports, and the first American flag raised over Terminal B at Boston Logan Airport when the TSA starting screening there in 2002.
..And then theres the walk-through metal detector that screened the hijackers in Portland, Maine, on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

You cant visit the museum, though, it isnt open to the public. Its located at TSA headquarters and appears to be a propoganda tool aimed at TSA employees.
