The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says U.S. travelers no longer have to take their shoes off while going through airport security. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says this change has been in the works since the Biden administration was in office.
Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Transportation Security Administration, announced the change in a press conference on July 8. The new TSA policy went into effect immediately. “TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoint," Noem said.
