The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is expected to screen almost 18.7 million travelers at airports across the United States between June 30 and July 6, in advance of the Fourth of July holiday.

TSA is projecting to handle 3 million people on July 2 alone, which is expected to be the highest daily passenger volume during this period, the agency said in a June 25 statement.
