Travellers arriving at the airport nearest Washington, D.C., will face increased security in the run-up to a planned Saturday rally supporting people charged with taking part in the deadly Jan. 6 riot, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration said.

Hundreds of far-right demonstrators are expected in the District of Columbia for the "Justice For J6" rally, a reference to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump in an attempt to stop certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security warned about the potential for violence at the rally planned for Saturday, according to a memo shared with state and local authorities and obtained by CNN.
One U.S. official who read the warning told Reuters it said homeland security officials lacked "specific credible information" regarding any individual or groups' plans for violence.
The official said the warning appeared to be based on social media postings rather than intelligence gathered from sources inside organizations involved in organizing Sept. 18 events.

Workers were reassembling a fence that was put up around the white-domed U.S. Capitol following that day but had been taken down in July.
The fencing separated the lawns of the U.S. Capitol grounds from other government landmarks including the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, congressional office buildings and the Capitol Reflecting Pool just west of Capitol Hill, where protesters were scheduled to gather on Saturday.
There were few other signs of beefed-up security, though plexiglass police shields could be seen stacked at police checkpoints inside doorways to the Capitol building.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Capitol Police said the Pentagon has been asked to provide National Guard troops if needed.
Trump referred to the upcoming protest in a statement on Thursday, saying, "Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election."
