Large crowds expected at airports over holiday

The Transportation Safety Administration is expecting big crowds at Salt Lake City International Airport for Thanksgiving weekend.

The TSA said yesterday that they expect about 25-thousand travelers to be screened at the airport this Friday.

Next Wednesday, that number is expected to increase to 29-thousand, while 30-thousand should fly out of the airport a week from Sunday.

The projections are an eight-percent increase from the number of passengers that were screened at TSA checkpoints last Thanksgiving.
