(CNN) - The Transportation Security Administration hit its highest checkpoint volume of the year on Friday as millions of travelers take to the sky for the Memorial Day weekend.
The agency tweeted early Saturday that roughly over 2.7 million passengers were screened at airports nationwide Friday.
That is a slight increase from Thursday when the TSA reported screening more than 2.6 million passengers.
That was the highest single-day number since Thanksgiving of 2019.
