DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that most travelers will no longer have to remove their shoes at TSA checkpoints.

For nearly twenty years, most air travelers in the U.S. have been required to remove their shoes when going through security. That requirement has ended.

Passengers at airports in Connecticut and the rest of New England are no longer required to remove their shoes during security screenings, local airport officials say, reflecting a nationwide change that seems to have taken hold in most airports across the country.
