U.S. to End Airport Shoe Removal Rule After Two Decades

Starting this Sunday, passengers at major U.S. airports will no longer be required to remove their shoes during routine security screening — ending a rule that’s been in place since the early 2000s. However, travelers who trigger metal detectors will still need to take off their shoes, so caution is advised. The change marks a significant shift in TSA policy, aimed at streamlining the screening process while maintaining core security standards.
