lajoye, is tsa promoting involvement in tsa precheck in smaller leisure markets that are experiencing extended wait times? or are you wanting people to do both, clear and tsa project depending upon the level of travel? >> yes, congresswoman, so the short entries were absolute promoting he is a pre-check. we've got over 400 and all that centers around the country, and our pre-pandemic daily enrollment was about 10,000 people a day is what we were tracking. we are at about 98% that now and, in fact, last month june was our busiest month for enrollment in the last five years. so we are please with the progress we're making. we still recognize there's a long way to go but by the end of this year we will have three enrollment provide for tsa pre-check precheck fecund all focus on increasing involvement which remains a priority of ours and we are starting to precheck volume increase along with the general passenger increases we're seeing about our airports. >> i really appreciate my tsa pre-check and not having to take off my shoes, so thank you so much. madam chairwoman, i yield back my ti

the tsa's numbers, about one week ago, 63% of tsa employees had gotten their first shot and about 45% are fully vaccinated. our chief medical officer has really done an excellent job making sure that location by location that we have access to the programs that can vaccinate not only our officers but our family. i would applaud all of our federal security directors because they have, for a number of months now, had local information to get out of the workforce. this remains a priority and you have my commitment that if there is something more we can do, we will certainly do that. >> that's good and i hope you will work with the unions in the different airports too. sometimes people don't trust the government but they trust somebody they know whether it is a church or a family member or a union they belong to. i hope you will work with them. speaking of vaccinations, since people are traveling, the rates are going up. certainly in las vegas and nevada. do you have any plans to monitor that or do anything special in those hotspots to protect your members? >> to your point something we h

track in real time of the tsa modernization act and how are they assigned? >> thank you for the question. yes. we do try wait times on the call that is how we can articulate our averages but also track excessive wait times and hopefully the point i made that for us we are having long wait times so that tells us we have adequate staffing in place and that's very common with the volume that we are seeing so these relativelyh small airports and what we are still having on these wait times and around the country working with the airport and the airline with that adequate staffing in place. >> it'sn interesting i'm not sure what size airport you would consider them at two or 300,000 people which leads to my next question increasing the number of passengers and pre- check with supposedly better enablee usa to screening resources is traveling and continues to recover we have absolutely seen travel volume increased are medically. is tsa promoting enrollment in pre- check with that extended wait time or are you wanting people to do pre- check on their level of travel

so get information from the tsa as well that will help you. truthfully, there's excitement, positivity and fun all around travel right now. so let's keep that as the focus and know you'll hit some speed bumps. it's a great time to travel. it's a great time to be back out there. >> neil: all right. i love your attitude. try telling that to the people in crowded planes. there's no liquor in coach. you wouldn't know because you're in first class. but how do you advise people dealing with the skies? >> i think you're a list mistaken. i don't fly first class. i fly coach a lot of the time as well. i really believe that your attitude and your energy is such an important thing to bring to your travel experience. people are going to be uptight, uncomfortable. i try to smile at people, be patient. not engage an aggressive level. i think we're all fortunate and less to be returning to travel and hopefully that's the attitude that everybody will bring. >> neil: not always. the guy that sits in front of me puts his seat back full recline. i'm so tempted,

not just at tsa, but with the airlines as well. what should travelers expect for the rest of the holiday weekend? >> thank you for having me this morning. it's good to be here. that's a great question. as we know, travel is picking up. it's tremendous. we can expect increased wait times. we also can expect the continued professionalism of the tsa. we have to remember that these are the same employees that worked during the longest shutdown in history without receiving a paycheck. also one of the deadliest pandemics the world has ever known. they worked every day because they're patriotic workers at tsa. you can expect them to be courteous, while at the same time ensuring that everyone has the ability to travel safely. >> these are frontline workers and they've been in the middle of it since the beginning. tsa says it plans to hire thousands of workers by the end of the summer. in the meantime they're stretched thin. office workers are being asked to help out with security lines. what is being done and what needs to be done to addre

if you look by me at the tsa line, it is actually moving quite well.joined about a half hour ago, the line was wrapping around these escalators. they were weaving through the trammell. it is definitely for now. as you mentioned, it will be a busy weekend. 40,000 people are expected to travel through sfo each day through the next couple of days . in total, 3 1/2 million people are expected to fly across the country the tsa screened more than 2.1 million people, the second busiest travel day since the pandemic began. that increase in travel requires an increase in travel workers. american airlines is planning to be 500 flights per day during this holiday weekend and they say staffing issues have already forced them to cancel some flights through the end of july and according to flight aware, only one flight has been canceled at sfo. american airlines -- southwest also facing similar issues, asking employees to pick up after chips and offering more money. they have not canceled any flights at sfo today. we did speak to passengers who got here as the rest

the tsa saying moments ago, they screened more than 2.19 million people at airports across the countryn friday. >> well, the travel surge looks like the progress has made, obviously, in curbing the coronavirus, health officials are worried the delta variant, specifically, could fuel a surge in new infections and put people at risk who are not fully vaccinated. cnn's polo sandoval tracking the holiday rush from new york. i know that those travel numbers, polo, we just shared, they arrived prepandemic figure levels as well. it shows how much people want to get out and about. >> that is owe telling, christi, i'm glad you mentioned that, not only the latest figure just released by the tsa, regarding the number of people that used tsa checkpoints now leads to the pandemic era number. and significantly higher than we saw even before the pandemic. and travel experts say it's only g going to get busier this year. >> reporter: by now, most americans who plan to travel this holiday weekend may have braved the july frenzy on the roads. >> i think it's going to be pretty busy and congested. that's

we have been monitoring this tsa line for the last 45 minutes.e most crowded that i've seen it but people are moving through so they are doing a good job making sure that the line stays within the barriers. as we have talked about, it will be a very busy travel weekend. at sfo alone they expect 40,000 people to travel through her each day. in total, 3.5 million people are expected to fly across the country this weekend. yesterday the tsa screened 2.1 million people, the second busiest travel day since the pandemic began. increase in travel requires an increase in travel workers, however. american airlines planning 5500 flights per day during the holiday weekend but said that staffing issues have already forced them to cancel some flights for the end of july. southwest is facing similar issues, urging employees employ pick up extra shifts and offering more money as the travelers finally decided this time to hit the skies again. >> is about time to visit some grandkids, my daughter and her husband of course >> reporter: when was the last time you w

if you take a look at these tsa checkpoint numbers. you can see that's reflected on your screen. it's rebounded a lot since july 4th weekend last year. it's not quite what it was in 2019. but it's getting closer. i spoke to one woman that says she visited her sister in hawaii 3 times the last year. she says this has been the busiest. she seen the airport and she had to get a covid test each time he visited. >> the first was really easy. i just got the covid test 3 days in advance. but then the last trip i went on was really last minute so hard to get the covid $225. and this time i had to get that test again. >> because i was backpacking last 3 days. so was unable to get the senate to our test. >> right now. ease still requiring all travelers to get a covid test before entering the state unless you were vaccinated in hawaii that's supposed to change. on thursday, july 8th the governor supposed to be allowing people to come in that are vaccinated here in the u.s. and prove that vaccination as opposed to having to get that covid test and prove a negative as well. live at sfo amanda

these are the latest tsa numbers that we got this morning for yesterday.hich was a record. as you point out, 2.19 million people, also three times what it was last year. even more than it was in 2019 before the pandemic. so what do you get when you get all of those people? you get delays and you get cancellations. take a look at the numbers for sunday. 4,000 plus delays across the u.s. 2,000 plus cancellations. if that wasn't enough for the travelers to deal with, what about unruly passengers? today the faa announcing new fines of more than $100,000 to nine people who were believed to have been causing a scene and being inappropriate fighting with people and all sorts of things on the aircraft. the faa today also unveiling a psa, a public service announcement that employs young children that were perhaps smarter than we are about how to behave on an aircraft. >> fighting is not good when you're on a plane. >> i would be really scared. >> i would not like if someone did that to me. >> they should know better. they're adults. >> 3,271 complaints since the fi

there are so many policies happening right now that i am tracking, whether in congress or tsa or the biden executive order that are rolling out right now with regards to reporting, i am curious, each of them when i look at them has a different timeframe. tsa rolled out rules in the last few weeks following the colonial attack saying that if you are a pipeline operator, within 12 hours, we need you to notify us about any cyberattack. congress as a draft bill circulating that would require contractors and digital security firms to report within 24 hours. what is the significance? and [indiscernible] if you are one of these effective entities that have to report so quickly and you are not used to it? sujit: the devil is in the details. quick reporting has the benefit of looping in the federal government and its experts as soon as possible. colonial pipeline is a good example of that. the fbi announced colonial pipeline informed federal law enforcement the day it had been attacked by a ransomware attack. that helped the fbi attribute that behavior almost immediately, from what i understa

at the airport, the tsa is so short of employees that they're asking for volunteers and looking to hire 6,000 new workers. they're offering $1,000 bonuses. it's not a bad deal if you're looking for a new job. the tsa is predicting staffing shortages at 130 airports across the country and rental car agencies are having trouble rounding up enough cardinals. that could impact your air sport experience. airline travel is back. airports are very busy over the summer. so travelers plan ahead. think ahead and please don't forget your mask. you can't go through security without it and you certainly can't get on a plane without it at least not yet. charles, back to you. >> thanks, anita. demand picks up and travelers are being met with long lines and growing delays. what is causing this? mark murphy joins us now. mark a lot of frustration as people travel and looks like the airlines for some were caught flat-footed. >> yeah, it's interesting that they got caught flat-footed given that we've seen the demand ramping up and the restrictions are being dropped. i don't think that they expected so man

the tsa in the last few weeks going colonial attack, if you are a pipeline operator within 12 hours wed you to notify us about any cyber attack, congress has a bill circulating they are working on in legislation they are moving toward that with prior contractors and digital security firms to report within 24 hours. what is the significance of reporting quickly and maybe limit with therapy if you are one of these entities that has to report so quickly and you are not used to? >> is a great question and really the devil is in the details. quick reporting has benefits essentially of hooping in the federal government and its experts as soon as possible. i think colonial pipeline is a good example. the fbi publicly announced colonial pipeline essentially informed federal law enforcement today that it was attacked by ransomware attack. that help the fbi attribute that behavior almost immediately. from what i understand, within three days the fbi could choke the dark side criminal network which essentially perpetrated the attack. within a few weeks after that, the fbi was in an extraordinary

et cetera something that your committee and you and others have taken a direct interest in with the tsak force act. so, pushing that through, i think, will be one of the most important steps that this committee could take to help and obviously, i'd welcome secretary mayorkas' efforts. and border protections cbp are more difficult. it's going to take a number of steps to deal with a legacy of an era in which cbp hired a great many people, but the not all of them are up to the level of professionalism that the department needs to have and some of the things that carrie identified in terms of professionalization, i hope, if done right, will increase the pride that the officers feel about their mission. >> and thank you very much. i'm going to have to try to get to ms. mulligan before my time runs out. ms. mulligan. >> so, quickly, i agree that updating the mission and instituting a joint duty type program are excellent suggestions. he think one thing i would emphasize and focus on is the politicalization department is a driver here and there are more civil servants in leadership positions

. >> 6 o'clock in the morning and we're seeing lines at tsa here in terminal to take a look. this is busier prepandemic during the christmas holidays. and that says a lot. i mean, you can see it's been so many people here that the lines are to the very end. and you can see a lot of people. guess what, they're all wearing their mask because i have seen a few people walking into the airport without their mask. i'm sure they quickly were reminded to put it on because it is required. just a reminder, as you said, though, 4th of july expected to be the biggest travel weekends since the beginning of the pandemic and we're seeing proof of that right now. i have some video for you. that's from terminal one. so if you're heading over there this morning. you can see it is just as busy tsa is forecasting over 2 million people traveling in the u.s. this weekend. sfo is expect to be the 7th busiest airport in the country according to the travel booking app hopper today at one 30 in the afternoon. it's going to be the most crowded here that so if you have a flight this afternoon. make sure

tsa numbers show on july 2nd, 2.196 million people went through the airport checkpoint on july 22nd,e will say, sully, july 2nd was on a friday ahead of the weekend and july 2nd, 2019 was a random tuesday you are right. number one, you heard international travel is nonexistent. domestic travel beat both domestic and international flights from two years ago and you have to start the recovery from somewhere. once international opens couldy this year where 3 million or more people get on a plane something that has never ever happened that is assuming the airlines can find the crew. random, but interesting. >>> back to the markets. kicking off a short holiday weekend. key for investors is fed minutes. latest look at the next policy s steps on wednesday the jolt number is out on wednesday. let's bring in hall reynolds. is it the fed or something else? >> good morning, brian it is the actions the central banks are taking taper talk is limited. no doubt the asset purchase with a huge impact on the equity markets. the encouraged risk taking and lower the risk people yum. i t premium. there i

but tsa said only a few hundred people have enrolled in the course since late june.to deal with the type of passenger becoming too common. >> ready, boom! >> i don't want to use any of this but if i had to, i certainly feel much more comfortable. >> reporter: pete muntean, cnn, sunrise, florida. >> we appreciate you, all you people on these planes trying to gettous from point "a" to point "b." >>> still ahead, some parts of the west have been battered by extreme heat and drought. there's a noticeable forecast change, though, this weekend. we'll have the latest for you. sn to their medical appointments. that's why i started medhaul. citi launched the impact fund to invest in both women and entrepreneurs of color like me, so i can realize my vision and give everything i've got to my company, and my community. i got you. for the love of people. for the love of community. for the love of progress. citi. life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that's scientifically designed to help manage yo

look at the tsa numbers from yesterday.hether harrisburg is delayed, asheville is delayed, going very good today but the fear is the summer goes on, travel continues to spike, are airlines ready to deal with it, that is something they might not correct. it modified its schedule. that is the scene at the airport. ashley: if you don't have pilots or planes not much you can do. we talked about weather-related issues, tropical storm elsa causing or travel problems in florida, matt flynn is in key west, they are ready feeling the effects of elsa. what is the latest. >> hours of strong tropical storm force windss, the water line crashing up over that wall. the hurricane downgraded to a tropical storm, and this looks pretty bad, the majority of people we talked to, most people said they would hunker down, we see people in the streets coming out to check with the elements would be like, people all over the country visiting from the holiday weeks, from new york, iowa, pennsylvania, washington, here's what some of them had to tell us

core daryl, the two who were formerly employees of the tsa, who could maybe weigh in on this and that positively help the workforce. another problem that we have heard about, we've heard a lot about the border today, is the lack of the latest technology at dhs. we don't seem to be able to catch up and deal with new and emerging threats, and i'm especially thinking about unmanned aerial systems. we are seeing them more and more at the border as they come across with illegal drugs and weapons. and i wonder if you know if we are working from dhs, and the department of defense with the development of some kind of countermeasure or some kind of technology to counter these operations to prevent these kinds of occurrences at the border. it seems like the department of defense does a lot of research in this area. we want to be able to reach across in partner and perhaps take advantage of some of that research. >> representative, that does in fact go on the instrument package is the d.o.d. needs and it's actually different from dhs's. but i'm sure a technology brief would be enormously benefic

now, when it comes to the number of people processed at tsa checkpoints, the tsa reporting what we sawn thursday was 3% higher than what we saw in 2019. when you hear from travel experts, they say this trend is only going to hold throughout the summer. by now, most americans who plan to travel this holiday weekend may have already braved the fourth of july frenzy on the roads. >> i think it's going to be pretty busy and congested. >> yeah. that's why i didn't want to wait and leave any later than today. >> reporter: or at some of the nation's airports, many of which seem to be bursting at the seams on friday. aaa expecting 48 million people will have traveled by road or by air by the time this fourth of july weekend comes to a close. most of them, 73 million opted to drive to and from their destinations according to andrew gross from aa. >> the biggest number of people traveling by car. international travel is still down. cruising has not picked back up yet. and people may feel more comfortable traveling by car. you can decide when you're going to leave and where you're going to stop.

and tsa says today should bring even bigger crowds.at regan national -- regan washington national airport. i was flying last weekend, pete. it's a zoo, right, and we're expecting it to be even busier this weekend? >> reporter: it's so true, jim. the tsa is saying places like nashville and myrtle beach are already seeing numbers higher than back on the same day in 2019 pre-pandemic. we will see if today sets a nationwide pre-pandemic era record. united airlines anticipates monday will be its busiest day in 16 months. with so many people coming back to air travel, this whole experience is not without its -- >>> long lines are back across the country with passengers packing into fewer planes staffed by fewer workers. southwest airlines is now offering flight attendants double pay to work extra july 4th trips, telling them in a company memo, if you are healthy and it is safe to do so, please help. it is the latest move by airlines to avoid a ripple effect of delays and cancellations as they struggle to keep up with pent-up demand for trave

it was suspended for a period of time by tsa because of coronavirus protocols. one of the things that the tsa is doing and this administration is doing to make sure flight attendants have tools and to communicate exactly what you're saying. this is absurd, that we have to focus on the fact that flight attendants have to have martial arts skills to go to work today. we're doing all we can to communicate to the public what's expected. i want to be very clear. this is a relatively small group of people. but they are making it very risky in the air for everyone. and they're making this a disturbing case at work and potentially very unsafe conditions for passengers and crews across aviation. >> and frankly, criminal behavior, right? just because you're in the air and ate flight attendant, you don't have a right to use violence against another person. as a union you're pushing criminal charges, right? >> this is already under the statute. under the statute today, you can be find $35,000 per incident and face up to 20 years in jail. so we're asking doj, please publicly
