This Thanksgiving week could see record travel numbers according to federal leaders. The Transportation Department says it's coordinating with federal agencies and airlines to try to ensure the holiday season goes smoothly despite the uptick in travelers.

The TSA expects to see record-setting numbers. The agency projects they'll screen 2.8 million passengers on Tuesday, 2.9 million passengers on Wednesday, and more than three million passengers on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
