DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that most travelers will no longer have to remove their shoes at TSA checkpoints.

For the first time in almost 20 years, passengers will no longer have to remove their shoes at airport security screening, as the Department of Homeland Security says new technology has made the step redundant.

For nearly twenty years, most air travelers in the U.S. have been required to remove their shoes when going through security. That requirement has ended.
