Nationwide, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is gearing up for record Thanksgiving travel numbers. Here in Detroit, airport staff said they are prepared to handle the hike in crowds this holiday.

The TSA advises travelers who bring food to carry it through security checkpoints or pack it in checked luggage. Since food often requires extra screening, it’s best to place these items in an easily accessible part of your carry-on and remove them for separate screening at the checkpoint.

As millions are preparing to travel to be with loved ones this week, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is gearing up for what could be the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record.
