The Memorial Day weekend is here, and it is expected to be one of the busiest travel periods ever, with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) predicting around 2.6 million passengers to be screened on Friday alone. To help ease the security lines, the TSA has implemented measures such as raising employee wages, adding new technology and systems such as facial recognition and scanner machines that allow liquids and laptops to stay inside bags. TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are still the most recommended programs to avoid security lines, but the clear option is also available for a higher cost. Consult the C.B.P.’s airport wait time website to get a good estimate of wait times for both U.S. citizens and noncitizens.
