Additionally, the agency reported that more than 2.92 million people were screened on June 14, making it the fifth-busiest day in history. Officials said they expect to screen more than 32 million people nationwide from the end of June through July 8, following a Fourth of July travel rush. News 9 spoke to several travelers at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport who said they are preparing for holiday crowds. “It’s very well managed, it’s pretty crowded. If you get there on time, it’s pretty smooth sailing. Once things start filling up, it’s a nightmare,” one traveler said. “The airport in Florida was so busy, but it’s really empty here,” another traveler said.
