Travelers stand in a security line at SeaTac International Airport Friday, December 22, 2017. 158,000 travelers will pass through the airport on the busiest day of the holiday season. Extra TSA staff and dogs will be working so no one is expected to have to be in line more than 20 minutes. When dogs are used, travelers will go through the lines like PreCheck passengers and will not have to remove their shoes and belts, which speeds up the whole process.
