Step Back from the Baggage Claim: Good airport behavior could change the world

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

"This year, over 750 million people will migrate through airport security in the United States alone. So many different people...."

Are you sure -- 750 million? If every US citizen travelled, that would be only 300 million. So that means that the US will have 450 million visitors "this year?" I find that hard to believe. Please explain.

Not every US citizen travel on airplanes, however, you fail to take into account the simple fact that many people do travel multiple number of times each year. Also, a single point A to point B involves passing through two airports, not to mention the numerous numbers of connections in multi-flight itineraries...

Considering these facts, I'm not surprised at the 750 million number!
