TSA screenings hit highest since
mid-March, but still far below last year
Leslie Josephs

The number of people passing through TSA airport checkpoints
rose for a second consecutive week, on Sunday hitting 831,789,
the most since March 17, according to Transportation Security
Administration data.

Despite the recent increase in the number of people screened by
TSA, the figure is about 30% of what the agency logged at the
same point last year.

Airlines had been hoping for a significant rebound in travel demand
during the peak summer season. Carriers are reeling from the
pandemic, facing mounting financial losses and warning tens of
thousands of employees that their jobs are at risk when the terms
of federal aid, which prohibit job cuts, expire in October.

Labor unions and airlines are pushing for $25 billion in additional
aid to preserve jobs through March 2021, which has gained
bipartisan political support in recent weeks. That sector relief
that could be included in the next coronavirus aid package but
lawmakers failed to reach a deal for a new package last week.
