With an expected bump in air travel over Memorial Day weekend and into the summer, officials at the federal Transporation Security Administration want passengers, most of whom haven’t flown since before the pandemic, to know the latest regulations.
The biggest one is the mask mandate, said TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein during a press conference at Harrisburg International Airport Thursday. The federal mandate was set to expire on May 11. However, it has been extended to Sept. 13.
“If somebody shows up at the airport and they are not wearing a mask, TSA will ask them to put on a mask,” she said. “If they don’t have one, TSA will offer them a mask. And, if they decline to wear the mask, then they won’t be able to go through screening. Can’t go through screening. Can’t get to your gate. Can’t get on your flight.”
Are those fighter jets you see over central Pa.? It’s hard to say
Updated May 10, 2021;
Dozens of people reported seeing fighter jets over different parts of Dauphin and Lebanon counties on Monday but according to officials, it’s hard to say why the planes were there.
The Sun reported that Fort Indiantown Gap, which is in Lebanon and Dauphin counties, said the aircraft was not a part of any training exercises.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the planes aren’t U.S. military.
Harrisburg International Airport spokesman Scott Miller said he’s heard about fighter jets flying in the area but is never sure where they are coming from or where they’re going. It’s not uncommon, he said.

Gardeners are champing at the bit to get those summer annual flowers and summer veggies planted.
While we’re
probably done with killing frost by now, you never know when Mother Nature will throw a curveball.
Many learned that lesson last year when it seemed like we were on the way to summer by early May, only to have a cold snap sink the overnight temperatures down to 30 degrees on May 10.
