DENVER — Ahead of the holiday travel rush, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials at Denver International Airport are sharing helpful tips to help travelers get through those security lines.
Waiting in long security lines will become more and more common as we approach the end of the year. That's why Lorie Dankers of TSA Public Affairs said it's best to be prepared.

“We expect the busiest day of all to be December 19, followed by Friday, December 20, and interestingly, December 30 will also be our three busiest days,” Dankers said.
The TSA said there are a few things to consider if you plan to pass through DIA during your trip.
THE bridge security checkpoint permanently closed earlier this month, while Northern Security closed its doors earlier this year.
Travelers can use the West and South security checkpoints, as well as the South Security TSA Pre-Check checkpoint located near baggage claim.
“I want to emphasize that we use authentication technology that can take a photo of the traveler and we use that process for identity verification,” Dankers said.

Michael Barksdale traveled to Denver from Houston on Thursday to visit his son in Evergreen for the holidays.
“I like to travel. It went well in Houston and (it was) easy here. Everything is on time, the bags are there. I can't ask for more,” Barksdale said.
