"U.S. Hits Record with 2.95 Million Airline Passengers in One Day"

The TSA screened a record 2.95 million airline passengers in a single day, coinciding with the start of the Memorial Day weekend and the summer travel season. U.S. airlines are forecasting a record summer with 271 million passengers, up 6.3% from last year. The FAA is struggling with a shortage of air traffic controllers, leading to extended cuts in flight requirements at New York City-area airports.
