Will the total number of TSA passengers for March 30 be between 2,400,000 and 2,600,000?

Analysis

Given the ongoing government shutdown disruptions and substantial TSA staffing shortfalls, passenger throughput for March 30 is likely to fall outside the specified 2.4 to 2.6 million range. Despite the expected spring break demand, the current chaos and lengthy wait times at airports may deter a significant number of travelers, pushing actual screening numbers below historical norms. Furthermore, the recent government actions that might alleviate the situation are unlikely to have immediate impact. Therefore, it seems improbable that the TSA passenger count will fit within the 2.4-2.6 million bracket.
