"I have carefully combed through the Employee Responsibilities & Code of Conduct provided by the TSA. This code of conduct is straightforward, and I can assure you that I will abide by these regulations to the letter. I am confident that I already live my life in a manner that makes it much simpler to abide by this code without any issue."

Good! The interviewer will be happy to hear this. Can you possibly cite a few examples from the code of conduct and explain exactly how you will follow them and why you believe they are important? Try to build out your answer a bit more so it resonates more deeply with the interviewer. Nice job!
