Airport Security Prevalent This Summer Travel Season
May 29, 2007 4:20 PM
As the busy summer travel season begins, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reminds travelers to be prepared and plan ahead for security. Passenger preparedness for the security process can have a significant impact on wait times at the checkpoint.
Officials from TSA, airports and major airlines anticipate high numbers of passengers between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. TSA is prepared for summer travel and is working with aviation industry partners to ensure a high level of security and customer service for travelers.
"TSA works closely each year with our partners in the air travel industry to effectively manage high summer travel volumes. We are fully staffed and prepared to handle the greater volume of passengers this year," says Kip Hawley, TSA administrator. "Travelers can control the length of their own wait time by being prepared when they reach the security checkpoint."
Through staffing and scheduling models, TSA is able to maintain consistent peak wait times at the busiest airports in the country throughout the summer travel season. However, wait times do vary by airport, checkpoint and time of day.
