The TSA is considering changing its security screening procedures to allow travelers to keep their shoes on at various U.S. airports. This change would end a 20-year mandate established after the 'shoe bomber' incident. The new policy, reported by Gate Access, is expected to take effect soon at many airports. Currently, TSA PreCheck members can bypass this requirement, which costs $80 for five years. Official TSA confirmation of this potential change has yet to be released, but the agency is exploring updates to enhance the passenger experience.
For the first time in almost 20 years, travelers may no longer be required to take off their shoes during security screenings at certain U.S. airports.
The Transportation Security Administration is looking to abandon the additional security step that has for years bedeviled anyone passing through U.S airports.
Travelers were able to skirt extra security requirement if they were part of the TSA PreCheck program, which costs around $80 for five years.
