TSA Reveals Busiest Holiday Travel Days and Preps for Season
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) expects busy airport checkpoints during the winter holiday season, with the busiest days forecasted to be Thursday, Dec. 21, Friday, Dec. 29, and Monday, Jan. 1. The TSA advises travelers to come prepared by knowing what they can and cannot bring through security, considering new technologies like Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) and full-size Computed Tomography (CT) x-ray systems, and being aware that TSA officers may need to unwrap gifts for inspection. A record-breaking 7.5 million travelers are expected to fly over the end-of-year holidays.
