November 13, 2017: This past summer — between Memorial Day and Labor Day — was the busiest summer on record for TSA with over 239 million passengers taking to the air. TSA has over 43,000 officers and needs more employees to be efficient and minimize long lines — but Federal Government restrictions say they can only add less than 1% new employees a year. The airlines say cheaper fares and strong consumer confidence in air travel have encouraged more people to fly. Most US airports are “struggling” to keep up with space and service requirements— like parking and airport food/beverage options. Arrive early and bring your own food!!!
