The previous 2.99M record was set just last month.
The high volume of travelers in the United States passing through airport security after their Fourth of July getaways helped set a new single-day screening record for the Transportation Security Administration.
On Sunday, July 7, TSA officers screened 3,013,413 people at checkpoints nationwide, which surpassed the previous record of 2.99 million set on June 23, 2024, the agency announced Monday.
More people flew on an airplane in a single day in the U.S. on Sunday than on any other day in history since TSA was founded in November 2001.
Security theater. A show run by idiots for idiots to make them believe they’re safe. How many guns they miss, knives, etc. It’s ridiculous. And this month, how many fireworks they missed in people’s carryon bags is outstanding! Now with the internet we can get real-time updates by soon-to-be-on-the-no-fly-list social media wannabe stars, who post all the crap they get through security.
