The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) broke its own record by screening over 3 million passengers at airport checkpoints in a single day, surpassing the previous record set just last month. This achievement was fueled by the Fourth of July holiday travel rush in the United States. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas commended the TSA workforce for their efficient and professional handling of the massive influx of travelers. As air travel is expected to continue to rise, Mayorkas urged lawmakers to ensure fair compensation for TSA agents. He emphasized the importance of recognizing the dedication and hard work of these public servants, highlighting recent efforts to increase pay fairness and improve job satisfaction within the agency. The TSA's ability to process passengers at such a fast pace demonstrates their commitment to keeping air travel safe and secure.
