Travelers flying out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Thursday and Friday can expect to spend more time than normal in line at security checkpoints.
Why? High passenger volume. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is expecting 35,000 travelers to pass through the body scanners and magnetometers on Thursday and 40,000 on Friday as folks make a President’s Day weekend getaway. Normally about 31,000 passengers are screened on a daily average at MSP, the TSA said.
Here is when the TSA expects the most people at the airport and the longest lines
Terminal 1:
Terminal 2:
To keep the lines moving, the TSA offers these tips:
