OF INSPECTOR GENERAL  \nTSA Could Improve ItsOversight of AirportControls over AccesSMedia Badges  \n(Redacted)  \nDHS OIG HIGHLIGHTS  \n# TSA Could Improve Its Oversight of AirportControls over Access Media Badges\n\nWhat We Found  \n## Why WeDid ThisInspection\n\nBased on its comprehensive and targetedinspections,TSA has asserted that mostairports adequately control badges foremployees working in nonpublic areas.However,from the results of specialinspections conducted by TSA in 2015,aswell as our own testing,we conclude thatairports do not always properly account forthese badges after they are issued.TSA’scurrent inspection practice of relying oninformation reported by airports aboutaccess media badges limits its oversight ofbadge controls.By testing more controls,which are designed to curtail the number ofunaccounted for badges,TSA couldstrengthen its oversight of airports.Improved oversight by TSA,includingencouraging wider use of airports'bestpractices,would help mitigate the risks toairport security posed by unaccounted foremployee badges.  \nIn February 2015,nationalnews outlets reported thatbadges used by individualsworking at airports to accessnonpublic areas of the airportwere missing and could pose asecurity threat.We sought todetermine whether theTransportation SecurityAdministration (TSA)adequately oversees selectedbadge controls at airports andthus mitigates the riskassociated with lost,stolen,and unaccounted for badges.  \n## What WeRecommend\n\nTSA Response  \nWe made three  \nTSA concurred with the recommendationsand began taking
