TSA Lets You Keep Shoes On at Security | Toledo News

TSA just dropped the shoes-off rule at airport security—most travelers can now keep their kicks on while going through scanners. But if your footwear sets off an alarm, you’ll still need to remove them for extra screening. This shift follows the success of TSA PreCheck, which already let members skip the shoe removal, and with 20 million enrolled, expanding the convenience made sense. The old rule, born from a 2006 security scare involving explosives hidden in shoes, is now a relic—except for metal-heavy footwear like steel-toe boots or those with zippers and buckles, which can still trigger alarms. It’s all about balancing speed with safety as TSA keeps refining the process. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
