TSA prepares to screen more than 3 million Thanksgiving travelers

Published

WASHINGTON — This holiday season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is expecting to screen more than 17.8 million people from Tuesday, Nov. 25 to Tuesday, Dec. 2, with over 3 million just on Sunday, November 30th.

“We are projecting that the Sunday after Thanksgiving will be one of the busiest travel days in TSA history,” said Adam Stahl, Senior Official Performing the Duties of Deputy TSA Administrator. “Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, America is entering a Golden Age of Travel as record numbers of holiday travelers are taking to the skies. The majority of TSA’s Top 10 Travel Days have happened since President Trump took office. We are extremely grateful for the tireless work of our TSA Officers, who showed up every day to ensure Americans can travel freely and safely despite the hardships imposed on them by the shutdown.”

More than 3 million travelers were screened on nine of the Top 10 highest volume days in TSA’s history. Eight of the highest volume days have occurred in 2025 alone. TSA’s current daily volume in 2025 is about 2.48 million, compared to 2.47 million in 2024. This represents a daily increase of about 14,000 travelers per day in 2025 over 2024.

TSA offers these tips for all flyers as they plan their upcoming holiday travel:

  • Have valid ID: Bring your REAL ID, passport, or other acceptable form of identification and have it out to show the TSA officer at the checkpoint entrance.
  • Pack smart: Listen to instructions from TSA officers while at the security checkpoint. Have questions about airport security? Text 275-872 (“AskTSA”) to engage our virtual assistant 24/7.

Sheriff confirms human remains found in Sunset area

Published

on

Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas has confirmed human skeletal remains were recovered on June 13 in the Sunset area, and they could possibly be those of a flight attendant believed to have been murdered almost a year ago in the Fort Worth.
The murder suspect, Dennis William Day, 66, admitted in June 2025 to strangling Rana Soluri, 47, an Envoy flight attendant who lived with Day during that last year. She was reported missing by a co-worker on June 11 and had not been seen or heard from since March 2025.
Day initially denied any involvement, but later admitted to the murder and indicated he dumped her body somewhere in the Montague County area. Lawmen have scoured the areas in questions in both Montague and Wise County, but found nothing.
Sheriff Thomas said on June 13 the SO received a call of possible skeletal remains in the Brushy Creek area north of Poss Dyer Lane on Farm-to-Market 1749. A deputy went to the scene and confirmed it was human remains.
Investigators responded and kept the scene secure overnight until staff from the University of North Texas Forensic Anthropology Center could arrive and made the recovery on June 14. A Texas Ranger and staff from the Fort Worth Police Department also were on scene.
“There is no determination made yet on how long it has been there,” said Thomas. “The anthropologist was pleased to recover most of the skeleton in these conditions. Heavy rains previously made the past searches difficult. We are working jointly with Fort Worth to make an identification and if it is the victim in their homicide.”
