Travelers are getting a head start on the long Labor Day weekend
By DAVID KOENIG
AP Business Writer
Airports, highways, beach-
es and theme parks are
expected to be packed
across the U.S. this Labor
Day weekend as a lot
Americans mark the unof-
ficial end of summer the
same way they celebrated
the season's unofficial start:
by traveling.
After what's already been
a record-breaking summer
for air travel, the Transpor-
tation Security Administra-
tion predicted its agents
would screen more than
17 million people during a
holiday period that started
Thursday and runs through
next Wednesday, about
8% more than last year.
The TSA anticipates Friday
being the busiest day. In
a sign the summer travel
season really is winding
down, however, the agen-
cy said that fewer than 2
million passengers passed
through airport security
checkpoints one day this
week — the first time that
has happened since early
March.
