TSA ends shoe-removal rule at airport security, except for those needing extra screening.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is phasing out its shoe-removal policy at airport security checkpoints, allowing most passengers to keep their shoes on during screening. This change, effective at many major U.S. airports, includes all passengers except those who trigger additional screening. TSA PreCheck members and those aged 75 and older or 12 and under were already exempt. The policy change aims to speed up the screening process for millions of travelers.
