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.

    Agreed. I’m thinking about the “I have to ride every single roller coaster in the country” sorts.
