The Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) introduced that it set a brand new document for many vacationers screened in a single day on Friday, in line with a put up from the company on X, previously generally known as Twitter.
TSA officers screened 2,951,163 people at checkpoints nationwide, surpassing its earlier document from November 26, 2023, over the Thanksgiving vacation weekend.
“In case you flew yesterday, congratulations, you had been a part of a record-setting day,” TSA public affairs spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said on X. “@TSA officers screened extra folks at airport safety checkpoints nationwide yesterday (Might twenty fourth) than another day in our 22-year historical past.”
5 of the highest 10 busiest journey days in TSA’s historical past have occurred in 2024, the company notes.
