The official summer travel season is about to kick off, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is staffed and ready to screen an expected 18.3 million passengers and crew at our nation’s airports between Thursday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 27.
“Thanks to swift action of President Trump and Secretary Mullin to pay frontline TSA officers and put an end to the 76-day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, TSA can now anticipate a smooth screening experience for America’s air travelers this Memorial Day and summer travel season,” said TSA Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator Ha McNeill. “Our TSA teams are completely staffed, so passengers should experience minimal wait times and have an enjoyable trip through our airports and on to their travel destinations.”
As the summer travel season begins this Memorial Day, TSA will also remember those who have given their lives to defend the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. TSA’s mission to ensure all passengers can travel throughout America in peace and security is only possible because of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to build and preserve this nation.
