These markets track the volume of passengers processed through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints on a specific future date. The outcome depends on comparing the officially reported passenger count against various thresholds. Each market corresponds to a different threshold, reflecting varying expectations about travel demand.
All markets resolve based on the first published nationwide TSA passenger screening count for October 24, 2026, as reported on the TSA’s Passenger Volumes page. The exact count is used without rounding, and only the initial published figure counts—later corrections or revisions are disregarded. If the publication of data for that date is delayed, resolution is postponed until the data becomes available, subject to the contract’s expiration and any contingency rules. Each individual market has a specific numerical threshold; if the published count meets or exceeds that threshold, the market resolves to Yes, otherwise to No.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes, and the prices of these contracts reflect the market's probability assessment of each outcome occurring. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, the prices adjust accordingly. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of a contract represents the cost to purchase it, and it also indicates the potential payout if that outcome resolves as true. The market dynamically adjusts to reflect the collective intelligence of its participants.
This market resolves around Nov 1, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final number of passengers screened by the TSA on October 24, 2026, as officially reported by the TSA, will determine the winning outcome. The resolution will be based on the official TSA data release, ensuring a transparent and verifiable result. Traders will then receive payouts based on the outcome and their positions in this market.
Several factors could significantly influence this market between now and its resolution. Major economic shifts, such as a recession or a surge in consumer confidence, would likely impact travel demand and, consequently, TSA passenger screenings. Unexpected events like a pandemic resurgence, geopolitical instability, or major weather events could also disrupt travel plans. Changes in government travel policies or security protocols could also play a role. Any news related to airline industry performance or travel trends will be closely watched by traders in this market.
