The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that has authority over the security of transportation systems within,and connecting to the United States. It was created as a response to the September 11 attacks to improve airport security procedures and consolidate air travel security under a dedicated federal administrative law enforcement agency.
On December 22,2001,a failed shoe bombing attempt occurred aboard American Airlines Flight 63. The aircraft,a Boeing 767-300ER with 197 passengers and crew aboard,was flying from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris,France,to Miami International Airport in the U.S. state of Florida.

Trichostatin A (TSA) is an organic compound that serves as an antifungal antibiotic and selectively inhibits the class I and II mammalian histone deacetylase (HDAC) families of enzymes,but not class III HDACs. However,there are recent reports of the interactions of this molecule with Sirt 6 protein. TSA inhibits the eukaryotic cell cycle during the beginning of the growth stage. TSA can be used to alter gene expression by interfering with the removal of acetyl groups from histones and therefore altering the ability of DNA transcription factors to access the DNA molecules inside chromatin. It is a member of a larger class of histone deacetylase inhibitors that have a broad spectrum of epigenetic activities. Thus,TSA has some potential as an anti-cancer drug. One suggested mechanism is that TSA promotes the expression of apoptosis-related genes,leading to cancerous cells surviving at lower rates,thus slowing the progression of cancer. Other mechanisms may include the activity of HDIs to induce cell differentiation,thus acting to "mature" some of the de-differentiated cells found in tumors. HDIs have multiple effects on non-histone effector molecules,so the anti-cancer mechanisms are truly not understood at this time.
A luggage lock is a lock used to prevent luggage from opening by accident,usually with little or no security in mind,although the lock may serve as a deterrent to potential thieves. Luggage locks may be built into luggage or may be external locks such as padlocks or lockable straps.

Billy Ryan High School is a public high school located in east Denton,Texas. It is the second high school of the Denton Independent School District and classified as a 5A school by the UIL. The original building for the school was built in 1991 and was followed with an expansions in 1994,2006,and 2008/2009 that added more space for the pre-existing technology and fine arts programs.
A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects on or inside a person's body for security screening purposes,without physically removing clothes or making physical contact. Unlike metal detectors,full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects,which became an increasing concern after various airliner bombing attempts in the 2000s and some scanners can also detect swallowed items or hidden in body cavities of a person. Starting in 2007,full-body scanners started supplementing metal detectors at airports and train stations in many countries.

Rosside is a small village in Cumbria,England,on the outskirts of Ulverston. The village consists of around 15 houses,all contained in an area of around 600 square metres (6,500 sq ft). Rosside is part of the Ulverston parish,as are the neighbouring villages of Pennington,Swarthmoor and Loppergarth.
Embryonic stem cells are capable of self-renewing and differentiating to the desired fate depending on their position in the body. Stem cell homeostasis is maintained through epigenetic mechanisms that are highly dynamic in regulating the chromatin structure as well as specific gene transcription programs. Epigenetics has been used to refer to changes in gene expression,which are heritable through modifications not affecting the DNA sequence.
Huban A. Gowadia is principal associate director of Global Security at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) since February 2020. Gowadia joined the Lab in May 2018 as the deputy principal associate director for Programs for the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science (NIF&PS) principal directorate. She worked with the NIF&PS Department of Defense Technologies program to engage industry and federal sponsors to form partnerships to address some of the nation’s most pressing security issues. She also supported the development of cross-disciplinary initiatives within LLNL that can utilize NIF&PS technologies to enhance mission space in other directorates.
