TSA chief: More security hires needed at MSP as air travel rebounds from pandemic

The head of the Transportation Security Administration in Minnesota said Tuesday that while his workers are ready for the Thanksgiving rush, it's been challenging to hire more employees as air travel rebounds to pre-pandemic levels.

"It seems to be getting busier all the time," said Marty Robinson, TSA's federal security director for Minnesota, at a news conference at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. "We're getting back to normal."
