TSA prepares for busy Labor Day holiday
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is prepping for more than 14 million passengers during the Labor Day holiday weekend.
It expects busy airports full of travelers catching the last days of summer between September 1 and 6.
The agency says tomorrow September 1 will be the busiest day, with over 2.7 million travelers set to go through passenger screening checkpoints.
Overall, this summer has been at a record high with an average 2.5 million travelers screened.
“This Labor Day holiday weekend will be busy, with passenger volumes nearly 11% up on last year,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said.
“We are working closely with our airline and airport partners to make sure we are maintaining our wait time standards of 30 minutes.”
Its standard for TSA PreCheck lanes is 10 minutes and under.
