TSA Administrator David Pekoske said nearly 1,000 employees have volunteered to be sent to other airports if needed. It’s part of the agency’s plan for handling what is projected to be a frenetic vacation-travel season. “We expect this to be a busy summer, and we are as ready as we possibly can be,” Pekoske said at a news conference near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. When that happens, he said, volunteers from less-crowded airports will be sent to help reduce the waits at busy airports. The TSA has screened, on average, more than 2.1 million travelers per day in April and May.
