TSA screened nearly 3 million passengers at US airports on Friday

Travelers make their way through Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on May 24, 2024, in Arlington, Virginia.

The history-making day, part of Memorial Day weekend travel plans, surpassed by nearly 50,000 people the number of individuals who passed through security on the Sunday after Thanksgiving last year, when the TSA reported just over 2.9 million travelers. Earlier this week, the federal security director for John F. Kennedy International, one of the nation’s busiest airports, said TSA officers were expecting to screen approximately 12,000 more travelers per day for Memorial Day weekend — or an 11.5% increase when compared to last year.
