The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has declared that it is “staffed and ready” to screen over 18.5 million travellers at US airport security checkpoints during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
This year’s projection includes Tuesday, July 1, through Monday, July 7, with the highest passenger volume – approximately 2.9 million – expected on Sunday, July 6.
It notes that nearly 3.1 million passengers were screened on Sunday, June 22, the busiest single day in the agency’s history.
“TSA continues to work closely with our industry partners and ensure our airport security checkpoints are fully staffed and prepared to handle the heavy rush of traffic,” said TSA Acting Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill.
“We are deploying technologies and procedures to improve security and enhance the passenger experience, including for families.
“We ask travellers to pack their patience, especially during peak travel days, as we work to provide maximum hospitality to our customers.”
