The Transportation Security Administration screened more than 2 million air travelers on Friday — the most since March 2020, the travel administration announced on Saturday.
"The growing number of travelers demonstrates this country's resilience and the high level of confidence in COVID-19 counter measures, to include ready access to vaccines," TSA Acting Administrator Darby LaJoye said in a statement. "TSA stands ready to provide a safe and secure screening process as part of the overall travel experience." The 2,028,961 people screened on Friday represent 74% of the travel volume for the same day in 2019, and is consistent with pre-pandemic averages of 2 to 2.5 million flyers per day.More Related News
