The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced that passengers at various U.S. airports are no longer required to remove their shoes during security screenings, effectively ending a nearly 20-year policy. The decision comes as part of an effort to streamline the security process and improve the overall experience for travelers. Airports across the country, including major hubs, are implementing this change immediately, allowing travelers to pass through security checkpoints with their shoes on. Passengers can now enjoy a smoother security experience, which has long been a source of frustration for flyers.
