Millions of Americans are ignoring the advice of public health experts and traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Transportation Security Administration reported that more than 1.04 million people went through airport security checkpoints Sunday, the most since mid-March, and about 1 million more went through TSA checkpoints each day on Friday and Saturday.
