This set of markets tracks the performance of TSA airport screenings over a specific week, offering various thresholds for potential outcomes. Each market represents a different benchmark for the average number of screenings, allowing participants to speculate on whether the actual average will surpass these levels.
Each market resolves based on whether the weekly average TSA airport screenings for the week ending August 02, 2026, exceed a specified threshold, as reported by the TSA. All markets share identical expiration and trading timelines: contracts expire at the earlier of 9:00 AM following the data release for August 02, 2026, or one week after that date, with the last trading day and time fixed at 11:59 PM on August 02, 2026. The resolution for each market depends solely on whether the reported average meets or exceeds its unique threshold, ranging incrementally from above 1.8 million to above 2.8 million screenings.
Compared to traditional analyst forecasts, prediction market odds for this market often reflect a more immediate, crowd-sourced view of travel demand trends. While analysts may incorporate economic indicators and seasonal patterns, traders adjust prices based on real-time data, news, and sentiment. This can lead to divergence — for example, a surge in bookings or a sudden travel alert may shift market probabilities faster than consensus forecasts change.
This market resolves around Aug 3, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once official TSA reports for the specified period are published and verified against credible public sources. The final settlement will reflect the actual average daily check-ins from July 27 to August 2, 2026, closing all positions based on that verified figure.
Events that could shift this market include major holidays, unexpected changes in travel advisories, economic announcements affecting consumer spending, or widespread disruptions such as weather or health issues. Any data showing shifts in booking trends or airline capacity updates may also cause traders to reprice odds as the resolution date approaches.
