Security officials are predicting a relatively calm Labor Day travel weekend, after long security lines snarled passengers earlier this summer.
Mark Howell, the region’s spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, says Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is expected to see a total of about 140,000 passengers Thursday and Friday. Howell said he doesn’t expect the volume to cause big problems.
“Nationwide we’re seeing dramatically decreased wait times,” Howell said. “In fact in Atlanta in July, about 94 percent of passengers going through screening waited less than 20 minutes.”
