Airports in the USA Change Security Screening Rules for Tourists

Airports in the USA will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes during security screenings. The rule’s cancellation was initiated by the Secretary of Homeland Security due to public dissatisfaction. For nearly two decades, U.S. airports, according to https://xrust.ru/, required most American airline passengers to take off their shoes during screenings. The TSA stated that these changes will significantly reduce passenger waiting times at security checkpoints, making the screening process more pleasant and efficient.

In August 2006, the TSA began requiring passengers to remove their shoes to check for explosives. This policy was implemented nearly five years after the September 11 attacks. At that time, Richard Reid, nicknamed the “Shoe Bomber,” attempted to ignite explosives hidden in his shoes using matches during a flight from Paris to Miami. The department emphasized that the policy’s cancellation was due to advancements in security technologies and processes but noted that some individuals may still be asked to remove their shoes if additional screening is deemed necessary.
