US screens 1.28m people at US airports
The US TSA said it screened 1.28m passengers on Sunday at US airports, the highest number since mid-March, when the coronavirus pandemic slashed travel demand. The number of US air travelers is still about 50% lower than the same date last year, but Sunday was the sixth day in the last 10 that volume surpassed 1m. The rise comes despite public health officials urging Americans to avoid holiday travel this year as coronavirus cases have jumped. Over the last 10 days, about 10.2m people have been screened at US airports, compared to nearly 25m over the same period last year.<br/>
