More people flew in the U.S. over the weekend of Oct. 16-18 than at any other point in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Transportation Security Administration said Monday.
The TSA crossed a long-awaited threshold Sunday, screening 1 million passengers at airport checkpoints for the first time since March 17, spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said in a release.
That wasn't the only new record: TSA also screened 6.1 million passengers at checkpoints nationwide during the week (Monday, Oct. 12, through Sunday, Oct. 18), its highest weekly number since the start of the pandemic.
