DENVER - NOVEMBER 22: Passengers move through a main security checkpoint at the Denver International Airport on November 22, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The TSA is bracing for heavy traffic the day before Thanksgiving, as two separate internet campaigns are promoting a "National Opt-Out Day" protest during which travelers are urged to "opt out" of the new body scanners because of concerns over privacy and possible exposure to radiation. Those passengers who refuse the scans must instead undergo an enhanced pat down by TSA agents, which could further slow down security lines on the busiest air travel day of the year.

(ATR) The United States could take the next step toward finding a replacement bid for 2024 on Wednesday.

That’s when the board of directors for the U.S. Olympic Committee will meet at Denver International Airport, presumably to discuss plans for the bid.

With no on-site media availability given, USOC CEO Scott Blackmun and chairman Larry Probst will take part in a teleconference with media members after the meeting.

According to a release, "no actions are expected to be taken at the meeting." However, the USOC has made clear that it intends to remain in the bidding for the 2024 Summer Olympics after the collapse of the Boston bid and plans to name a replacement by the end of August.

Boston was originally selected over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Of those, only Los Angeles has spoken publicly about returning to the race, most recently outlining a $4 billion investment in city upgrades to ready itself for the event.

The 2024 field already is a crowded one. Four cities - Paris, Rome, Hamburg and Budapest - have declared an intent to bid for the Games with Toronto and Baku mulling bids as well.
