The Department of Homeland Security praised Transportation Security Administration Officers who screened more than 3 million travelers at airports on Sunday.

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.

    School’s out and Disney World is there? The water is warmer at the beach? I have no idea, I wouldn’t do it. We went to Canada last year and it was still plenty hot. We stayed at a house on Lake Michigan in the U.S. a few years ago and the water was cool but not too cold to swim. Even if you want the ocean, go to the Outer Banks or something.

    Unless you’re a theme park fanatic, I can’t really think of a good reason to spend your tourist dollars in Florida.

      Idk, Cali has plenty of solid theme parks, their own Disneyland and their own Legoland and no crazy ass racist, sexist, transphobic right wing nut (Do we have a word yet that incorporates all of those yet?) governor lol
