Over 3 Million Passengers Screened as Memorial Day Travel Hits Record High

The United States is experiencing a massive surge in travel this Memorial Day weekend, with over three million passengers screened at airports on Friday alone. This surge reflects growing traveler confidence as many take advantage of the holiday for vacations and family visits.

The smooth flow of passengers is partly thanks to the widespread use of the Real ID. This new identification system has helped speed up security checks and reduce delays, even with the heavy crowds.

Together, the high demand from travelers and effective security measures show the nation is well-prepared to manage one of its busiest travel periods. Memorial Day travel is officially underway, making this weekend one of the most active for travel in the US.
