(Washington, D.C) According to a release from the Transportation Security Administration, TSA expects to screen about 18 million passengers and crew from Thursday, May 22nd until Wednesday, May 28th. Those that are currently or over the age of eighteen need to present an identification at TSA checkpoints that is accepted by TSA which includes items like a passport. According to a release from TSA, here are tips that the company also recommends for flyers. A link to the TSA website for more information can also be found below:

  • Pack Smart: Ensure your carry-on bags are organized and comply with TSA regulations. If not sure, text 275-872 (“AskTSA”) or @AskTSA.
  • Have Valid ID: Bring your REAL ID or an acceptable form of identification and have it out to show the officer. Those who have neither a state-issued REAL ID nor an acceptable form of ID can pass through security after their identity is verified, but they may be subject to additional screening.
  • Enroll in TSA PreCheck®Children 17 and under can join an adult with TSA PreCheck when TSA PreCheck appears on the child’s boarding pass.
