TSA to End Shoe Removal Policy at Select Airport Checkpoints

According to a federal source, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes at certain U.S. airport checkpoints. The change will roll out gradually, starting with airports that adopt newer CT scanning tech and biometric pre-screening systems.

The move aims to improve speed and convenience—but privacy advocates warn it may come at the cost of expanded surveillance and pre-clearance tracking.

So the trade-off is this:
No more removing your shoes...
But say hello to facial scans, biometric profiling, and AI-driven traveler scoring.

This isn’t about comfort. It’s about control.
