Grandma’s homemade gravy will have to find a different way home for travelers hoping to get those holiday favorites through airport security checkpoints.
Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport are expecting their biggest crowds for the holidays since 2019, including thousands of infrequent travelers, families and other types of travelers who pose challenges at security checkpoints.
“We see someone bring their family’s prized carving knife through security [that] they say they absolutely need to bring to their Thanksgiving dinner,” said Kriste Jordan Smith, the federal security director for the Transportation Security Administration at DFW International Airport.
