Airplane theres plenty you should know before you get to the airport. Fox5s Melanie Alnwick is live at Reagan National with some of those details. Mel, good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, guys. Still only seeing really delays out of los angeles this morning and even then not that many. So, things do seem to be moving pretty well given the fact that this is supposed to be a record year for Holiday Travel. This seventh year in a row travel has increased. Its not your imagination if you think there are more people on the airplanes and the security lines. Weve seen a couple of different configurations here going on in these t. S. A. Lines. Right now this is pretty normal. Passengers are moving pretty steadily. Now, when the k9s are in operation, then its a little bit of a different scenario. They come back and forth and they sniff the shoes and the bags and those instances then people dont have to take off their shoes at security and it really does make things go a lot quicker. We timed one group and it took them less than 10 min but got a few more people coming on line here now so maybe a little bit longer than but not a terrible wait. T. S. A. Says because of the additional Holiday Travel, that is meaning about 400,000 extra passengers per day during the Holiday Travel period which runs through january 1st. Theyve also put additional t. S. A. Agents on the job as well as additional k9 officers, too. A lot of advice that they have really hasnt changed much over the last couple of years. Really if youre going to travel domestically they do say to give yourself two hours. That hasnt changed in quite some time. International three hours. Just, you know, you dont want to be rushing around. You want to make sure you give yourself plenty of time and then you can relax on the other side of the security gates and just chill with your family until your plane takes off. Also a couple of tips as far tir because the Holiday Season is a little different. People tend to carry Different Things than they would on other times of the year. They say don because even though youre allowed to bring wrapped presents occasionally security might need to unwrap them to check whats inside. Baked goods are okay. For personal Electronic Devices theres a new policy you ma it have heard about it electronics larger than a cell phone they need to go in the bins for xray screening in the standard lanes but one of the things we did notice was when they had the dogs here, when the dogs were sniffing the lines they were telling people dont take off your shoes and leave your laptops in your bags so that did help things go a little sooner. So, i would say, you know, just really listen, Pay Attention to the directions from your t. S. A. Agents. Theyll tell you what is going to be in operation at whatever take time so again so far so good here. Lets hope everyone gets to their holiday destinations on time. Live at Reagan National, im Melanie Alnwick, fox5 local news. Lets hope so. Hope everybody has a safe and uncrowded travels. 7 03 is the time. A trump and congress as they get ready to head home for the holidays. The president is due to sign some big bills but hes also out spreading some christmas cheer. Fox5s bob barnard is live at the white house to tell us what is on the agenda today. Good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, allison and wisdom. Yes, before the president heads to florida for christmas, he is expected to sign that stop gap spending bill this morning here at the white house. That is the one that will fund the federal government through january 19th. This was the continuing resolution signed by both houses of congress yesterday before they left town. This does fund the Childrens HealthInsurance Program providing insurance for some 9 million less fortunate children, low income families. It does not, however, provide money for Disaster Relief for puerto rico florida and texas. That theyll have to deal with after the first of the year. There is talk that the president maal new tax bill into law, although that plan has been to do that after the first of the year. So, well see if that happens today. More than likely that will come after the first of the year. Yesterday for the First Time Since april President Trump visited Wounded Warriors up at the National MilitaryMedical Center in bethesda at walter reed. He visited with sick and injured members of all branches of the military and called them some of the bravest people in the world. While he was at walter reed the president also awarded the purple heart to Army Lieutenant victor prato who was injured in an ied blast in afghanistan last month. So, the president visiting with Wounded Warriors, troops, a tradition that president s have done before the christmas break and again, guys, after some of the bill signing here at the white house this morning, the president will head to palm beach to his club at maralago.
