With nearly two million people traveling out every day during Thanksgiving, the United States security are on tenterhooks fearing terrorist attacks. Travelers are being warned of facing long queues at airports as they head home for Thanksgiving with fears of a terrorist attack hanging on their heads.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anticipates this week to be the busiest travel season in its history and the estimate of more than two million passengers expected to take a flight each day during the holiday period, it will be the highest figure since 2007.
AAA has predicted that 42 million people will travel at least 50 miles for Thanksgiving.
Security has already been tightened at transport hubs across the US in the wake of recent terror attacks in Paris and Mali apart from the bombing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt.
The US State Department has already issued a worldwide travel alert for Americans due to "increased terrorist threats". This alert will remain in place until 24 February. It advises Americans to avoid large crowds or crowded places and to "exercise particular caution during the holiday season".
